Seeing a comedian in Las Vegas is one of the most memorable things to do on a trip. Some of the best in the world perform here, and rising stars remind us why Sin City is the entertainment capital of the world.
Tickets can run as low as $26, making comedy shows some of the best values in town.

There are five comedy clubs in Las Vegas that use the same rotating format. It’s always worth checking who’s scheduled before you attend, since the lineup can change from the one you saw advertised. Each club also has its own spin on how it features comedians, from rotating weekly lineups to a fixed five-comedian-a-night format.

The Laugh Factory at Horseshoe features headliners, viral acts, and rising comics on a lineup that changes weekly. Some of the biggest names in comedy have performed at Laugh Factory, including Tiffany Haddish, Matt Rife, Drew Carey, and several others. Each show is 70 minutes long.
Shows run twice a night at 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, and then Thursday through Sunday at 8:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. This show is limited to 18 and up, and IDs are checked at the door.
Laugh Factory tickets start at $32.

The Comedy Cellar inside the Rio features five headlining comedians every night, each doing their spiel for 15 to 20 minutes. The New York original has been selling out for 36 years, and the location in Vegas is the first one on the West Coast.
This is a great option if you have a group with varied comedy tastes and humor. There's a variety of acts in one sitting. The Comedy Cellar is a 300-seat auditorium with shows nightly at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Entry is strictly 18 and up.
Book Comedy Cellar tickets from $38.

Brad Garrett, known for his role on the hit TV show “Everybody Loves Raymond,” has his own comedy club at the District at MGM Grand. It's important to note that Brad Garrett only appears at the club on specific dates, and you can find a breakdown of when those dates are on Spotlight.Vegas's website.
For most dates, it’s typically other comedians performing here, including Paul Ogata, Tom Rhodes, and John Caparulo. The show is 90 minutes long and runs every night at 8 p.m. Seating is assigned upon arrival, and you'll get the best available seat within the zone you paid for. Arriving early will give you more freedom over your experience and your point of view watching the show. This show is also 18 and up.
Reserve Brad Garrett's Comedy Club tickets from $44.

Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club is the most affordable comedy club in Vegas, with tickets from $26. The 8,000-square-foot venue at the LINQ Promenade has been named Best Comedy Club in Las Vegas by the Las Vegas Weekly. Jimmy Kimmel's team books the talent, but he does not perform regularly at the club. He is more of a curator and designer for the venue.
The venue mixes big names like Luenell and Carlos Mencia with newcomers and unannounced guests in a 75-minute show. Dates and times can vary by booking rather than running on a fixed nightly schedule. Reserved seats can be reassigned if you're more than 15 minutes late. This show is for 18 and up.

The LA Comedy Club is inside the Dragon Room at The STRAT. It's one of the only Vegas comedy options for families with teenagers, as it allows guests as young as 15 to see a show. With that being said, 15- to 17-year-olds do need to attend with a parent or guardian.
The venue features established touring comics along with local up-and-comers. The mix of performers changes weekly, and there are three 75-minute shows every night. They have a 6 p.m. happy-hour variety show, touring comics at 8 p.m., and a late-night show at 10 p.m.
This show has the most showtimes of any on this list.
LA Comedy Club tickets start at $45.
When it comes to seeing these five Vegas comedy residencies, you can expect exactly who is on the ticket, rather than the variation that comes with a comedy club. The age rules can vary for these shows. Some have no age restriction at all, while others admit only guests aged 16 or over. We will break down all five shows and what to expect from each comedian.

Carrot Top is one of the biggest comedians in Vegas, a familiar name for both locals and visitors. After a brief hiatus in October 2026, he is back and better than ever in his show at the Luxor. He works through trunkloads of props in a 75-minute show that runs consistently at 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Reviewers have described him as one with the audience, and he is openly appreciative of everyone who comes to see his show. At $68, this has the highest starting price of the 10 comedy shows. A meet-and-greet add-on is available if you want to meet the man behind the jokes as well. Seating is not guaranteed for late arrivals, and it can be released once the show starts.
Book Carrot Top tickets from $68.

Sam Willis, also known as Tape Face, is a Season 11 finalist on America's Got Talent. He performs his entire Tape Face show in character with tape across his mouth. He does prop-based silent comedy in the small underground theater at the MGM Grand.
Guests of all ages are welcome to the show, so it's the most family-friendly out of all of the comedy shows on this list. Tickets are required for any guests over 3. The comedy is more physical than verbal, so it’s great to see even if you don’t speak English.
Reserve Tape Face tickets from $57.

Vinnie Favorito delivers roast comedy off the cuff like no one else, even riffing on celebrities like Magic Johnson and Arnold Schwarzenegger. He has a 75-minute show located on the third floor of Neonopolis on Fremont Street. He has a pretty blunt style of comedy, so be ready to get picked on if you have the valor to attend.
His show is one of the few comedy shows you can see in downtown Las Vegas. Shows run Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 8:30 p.m. The show is strictly 18 and over.
Vinnie Favorito tickets start at $34.

Falcon has an 85-minute show held at the Underground Theater inside the MGM Grand. His show features a combination of hypnosis and R-rated stand-up.
Shows run nightly at 9:30 p.m., except on Wednesday, when shows are at 8 p.m. Steve Falcon's shows require guests to be 16 or older; anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Steve Falcon's Comedy Hypnosis Hour tickets start at $61.

Gregory Popovich's show is the shortest in the category at only 60 minutes from start to finish. Each show is at 2:30 p.m. from Tuesday through Saturday. Popovich performs with rescued shelter animals at Planet Hollywood’s V Theater inside the Miracle Mile Shops.
The show is very simple to follow and great for families with small children. It has no age restriction, and lap seating is available for children two and under. Since there's no plot to follow, it's easy for young children to enjoy the show without having to keep up.
Reserve Popovich Comedy Pet Theater tickets from $34.
Always bring ID, even if you’re well over 21. Comedy clubs check at the door just like any other Vegas venue. Several of these shows admit guests younger than 21, so check the specific policy rather than assuming.
Popovich has no age restriction at all, with lap seating available for children 2 and under. Carrot Top requires that anyone attending be at least 16, and guests ages 16 to 18 need a companion who is 21 or older, not just any adult.
Lineups can change weekly at the comedy clubs. Don’t expect to see the person a club is named after without checking in advance. Dates and names can rotate for a specific venue, so it’s worth checking what’s actually on sale for your travel dates rather than planning a trip around one name. Residencies work differently, since the performer on the ticket is the performer you’ll see.
Several of these shows pull the audience into the act, so decide how much attention you want before you pick your seat. Vinnie Favorito’s whole format is roasting the room, so neither is the move if you’re easily embarrassed. Tape Face also uses audience participation, with front and aisle seats having the highest odds of getting picked.
Every stand-up room tends to pull from the front table first, so sitting a few rows back is the easiest way to stay out of it. At Brad Garrett’s, seating is assigned by zone when you arrive, so be tactful with picking a zone if you want to avoid getting into the mix.
One of these comedy shows isn’t inside a casino at all. Vinnie Favorito is downtown on Fremont Street.
Comedy showtimes run later than people expect. Laugh Factory and LA Comedy have shows around 10 p.m., and Steve Falcon’s starts at 9:30 p.m. most nights. Popovich is the only afternoon option in the category, with a 2:30 p.m. showtime. This is a great pick if you’ve got younger kids and don’t want to keep them up late.
The full Las Vegas comedy shows lineup runs beyond these 10.
No, none of the 10 shows here have 21 as a minimum. More than half require guests to be 18 and over, but several others have low or no age minimums.
Yes, three shows allow people 18 and under to attend. Popovich Comedy Pet Theater has no age restriction and allows lap seating for children 2 and under. Tape Face welcomes all ages, but children 3 and older need a ticket. LA Comedy Club admits 15 and up, but anyone under 21 needs a guardian.
Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club, with tickets from $26.
A comedy club costs less to attend and gives you a varied mix of comedians in one sitting. On the other hand, a residency costs more but gives you one known performer.
The headliner is only guaranteed to perform in a residency. At a club, you are booking the venue’s mix of comedians rather than one specific name. For a specific comedian, look at the limited-run touring bookings in the bigger venues instead.
Shows in Vegas run between 60 and 90 minutes. Popovich is the shortest at 60 minutes, while Comedy Cellar and Brad Garrett's are the longest at 90 minutes.
