Description:

From LasVegas.com--

Roseanne Barr is probably one of America's most well-known female comics.

She started out doing stand-up in comedy clubs, and after her first appearance on "The Tonight Show," she was offered a series by HBO called "The Roseanne Barr Show." The show didn't last long, but a year later, in 1988, Roseanne became a household name with her hit network sitcom "Roseanne."

The show dealt with real-life issues in a lower-middle-class working family and within a year overtook "The Cosby Show" as the No. 1 show on television. It ran for nine seasons and won four Emmys, two Golden Globes, six People's Choice Awards, and many other accolades.

Immediately after "Roseanne" finished its run in 1997, Roseanne left for New York to portray The Wicked Witch of the West in the Madison Square Garden production of "The Wizard of Oz." In a six-week run, the show sold more than 300,000 tickets - more than any other show on Broadway that year. Apart from making her presence known on stage, Roseanne also established herself as a successful author with the release of two best-selling books "Roseanne: My Life as a Woman" and "My Lives."

The comedian is always working on new children's songs and videos for her family-run production company Moon and High Tide Studio. "Rockin' with Roseanne," her first DVD for children was released in February 2006.

In 2006 she also appeared in her own HBO comedy special "Roseanne Barr: Blonde and Bitchin'."

Hello Dere! at Gold Coast

UPDATE: This show is no longer playing at the Gold Coast Casino. Any future engagements at this location will be immediately updated

Location:
Showroom
Gold Coast
4000 W. Flamingo Rd.
Las Vegas, NV 89103

Price:
$29.95 plus live entertainment tax.

Schedule:
Wednesday through Sunday - 7:30 PM.
Final performances now through June 17.

Reservations:
Call 702-251-3574 or 888-402-6278, or click here to purchase tickets online.
(Dinner packages available for telephone purchases only.)

Dark Dates:
Monday and Tuesday.

Description:
Husband and wife team Marty Allen and Karon Kate Blackwell combine the comedic talents of Allen ('Ed Sullivan Show', 'Hollywood Squares') with the music of Blackwell, an accomplished singer and pianist.


From the Gold Coast site:

Comedian Marty Allen and singer, songwriter and straight woman Karon Kate are still one of the best comedy/straight routines in the entertainment industry. When you see the show, you will see that he is the Marty Allen of 40 years ago.

One of the reasons for the success of their show is its spontaneity. "Karon has no idea each show what I'm going to say or do. Even the parts that I write, I try to keep fresh. I constantly add new lines so the routines aren't the same," says Marty.

One of Karon's most popular songs is Wedding Wows. It became so popular, she recorded an album and included the song. Her first album, titled simply Karon Kate Blackwell, included Wedding Wows and several familiar songs such as ode To Billie Joe and God Bless The U.S.A. One single, I Can't Laugh was a Cashbox 'pick of the week' selection in August 1994.

Both Marty and Karon say that when they are on stage, they don't think about the fact that they are married. Rather, they just focus on each other's talents. There's a natural dynamic and chemistry whey they perform. Just what keeps Marty going at 85 years old? Duracell batteries, says Karon.

Description:

From BroadwayWorld--

"Jones began playing here almost 40 years ago and his is a remarkable record, in that he is by no means an oldies act like so many others who came up in the 60s. He hit a dry patch in his career but came back strong about 20 years ago with his take on the Prince hit, "Kiss." He began to record with the UK's best and brightest -- Van Morrison, Robbie Williams, among them -- and continues to succeed, changing musical genres, always experimenting.

OK, now that we're caught up on the career, how about the show?

For 90 minutes Jones performs a mix of his hits, some standards and, best of all, R& B and blues (both of which he does phenomenally well). His voice today might lack the range it had years ago, but it still has more range than almost any singer around. And it's got more depth. As was true of the late, amazing, Ruth Brown, Jones' voice just gets richer with age.

It's worth noting that his audience is of all ages, both genders and from around the world. Thus, his appeal is, apparently, ageless and universal. And he's not the same "medallion man" you might remember. The 740-seat Hollywood Theatre at the MGM is the perfect size venue in which to see him."

Description:
Political humorist Maher made the most of his gig hosting Politically Incorrect on Comedy Central and ABC, becoming a household name before moving to HBO to host Real Time. He's returning to his stand-up roots this spring for a limited engagement at the Hard Rock.

From Bill Maher's site:

Bill Maher is one of the most politically astute comedians in America today. His unflinching honesty and commitment to never pulling a punch have garnered him the respect and admiration of millions of fans. In 2003, Maher launched a new show, "Real Time with Bill Maher," on HBO, a network that's a perfect fit for his irreverent style. The hour-long show airs live at 11:00PM on Friday nights.

Maher's credits include five HBO specials, including the critically acclaimed "Bill Maher: Be More Cynical" and most recently, the Emmy nominated "I'm Swiss." Maher has participated in sold-out comedy tours throughout the United States. He received a Tony nomination for the three-week run of his one-man Broadway Show, "Victory Begins at Home."

An English major graduate from Cornell University, Maher began his career honing his act during the '80s on the New York club scene. He reflects upon this time in True Story, a novelization of his club life and a funny, revealing depiction of the comic.

Description:
For over 30 years Elton John been a pop icon, with hits like Candle In The Wind, Rocket Man, and The Bitch Is Back building his reputation as a worldwide favorite. Now he's returning to Caesars Palace for a limited engagement.

From the Caesars Palace site:

He has survived the ups and downs of musical stardom for over 30 years. Commercially, creatively, on stage and on record, Elton John is a legendary artist -- one who is still as relevant as ever.

Elton John's finely honed stage presence, a winning factor in targeting his tunes straight into the heart of America, is excess incarnate. In The Red Piano, the showy costumes are replaced by incredible video imagery and stage props, yet the end result is unmistakably classic Elton John.

Gregarious, show-stopping, outlandish and unforgettable. Words that could be Elton John as much as they are Vegas. Together with photographer David LaChapelle, Elton John has created The Red Piano -- a career overview performance you won't soon forget.

The Red Piano takes the audience inside Elton John's world. LaChapelle creates a dreamscape dripping with rich imagery of Hollywood and Las Vegas icons -- each moment created to give the viewer a new, three dimensional interpretation of Elton John and Bernie Taupin's most memorable recordings.

Please note that The Red Piano is designed with a Vegas theme and mature audiences in mind. The video imagery that accompanies the music may at times be considered risqué, and includes montage style scenes that include brief frontal nudity. The Video content is designed within the context of the songs and overall theme of the show.
