Everyone is always talking about how many magicians perform in Las Vegas and there are indeed many. However, in this issue of Entertainment Today you will find 17 shows starring comedians, and that's not counting shows with comedy feature acts! Amazing, isn't it. Comedians, well known or on the rise, can be every bit the escape from reality as magic and Las Vegas glitz.
You can watch an audience enter a show room strangers to one another, thinking about themselves and their lives, about the last hand they played or the handle they pulled and in no time they are among friends laughing about a comic's observations on life, love and our everyday foibles.
As someone who has been involved in the comedy world for more than 15 years, I have seen the best and probably the worst comedy has to offer. Each time I attend a comedy show I still find I forget what might have worried me that day and just sit back and laugh! What a prescription for a hard day at the office or a loosing streak that has us down.
