and more. Since opening, Jokesters Comedy Club received the "Best Comedy Club" Silver Award from the Las Vegas Review Journal, named "Best New Show" by Vegas.com and last summer, Mayor Carolyn Goodman proclaimed Jokesters Day in Las Vegas celebrating their 1000th show. Mayor Goodman congratulated Barnhart saying, "Special thanks are extended to Don Barnhart and all performers for entertaining residents and visitors. Please keep the laughs coming as we offer best wishes for the next 1,000 shows and beyond." Audiences say Don's wit reminds them of a young George Carlin with an animated delivery. "Don Barnhart is a refreshing voice in the standup genre as he mixes a blend of hysterically funny and topical insights about our life and the world around us, pushing the boundaries of the PC culture without being offensive using well-written material delivering it with an improvisational flair." For years, Barnhart has made a living headlining the top Comedy Clubs, cruise ships, corporate events, shows for the military and venues in Las Vegas and Don has notoriously performed clean and now he's letting loose and pulling no punches. He added, "I've always felt that dirty comics aren't always funny but funny comics can be dirty."
