The Nevada comedy scene
Nevada's comedy scene is almost entirely a Las Vegas story. The city's entertainment infrastructure — 40 million annual visitors, casino resort budgets, and a culture built around live performance — has made it one of the most important comedy markets in the country. The Comedy Cellar Vegas (a partnership with the NYC original) brings the Greenwich Village formula to the Rio Hotel. Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club at the LINQ Promenade is a purpose-built 325-seat room that books major acts. Laugh Factory Las Vegas operates at the Tropicana. The L.A. Comedy Club runs two rooms at the Stratosphere. Wiseguys Las Vegas and Delirious Comedy Club serve the local (non-tourist) market. Reno has its own smaller but genuine scene anchored by Reno Improv and Laugh Factory Reno. The Nevada comedy market is unique in that it supports both high-volume tourist shows and a surprisingly active local open mic circuit — 6 venues host open mics statewide.
