The Best Comedy Shows in Las Vegas in 2026: Headliners, Clubs and Who Is Coming This Fall

The cheapest laugh in Las Vegas costs $19 on the LINQ Promenade and the most expensive one on this page costs $74 at Wynn, and the difference is mostly the name on the poster. Comedy here comes in three shapes: resident headliners with their own showrooms, clubs that book a new bill every week, and touring comics who pass through the Palazzo Theatre and MGM Grand for a night or three. Below is each shape in turn, with the lowest listed seat on our show pages as of September 27, 2026 (before fees), the schedule and the age rule, which at most clubs is 18 and up. Comedy magic and the family-safe shows get their own section, because the funniest hour on the Strip for a nine-year-old is not a stand-up club.

The short list

• Best headliner: Sebastian Maniscalco at Wynn's Encore Theater, $74, when his dates align with yours.
• Best club value: Comedy Cellar at the Rio from $32, or Laugh Factory at Horseshoe from $30.
• Cheapest way in: Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club at The LINQ, from $19 on a weeknight bill.
• Realest crowd work: Vinnie Favorito downtown, $38, or Luenell at Kimmel's, $53.
• Clean and all ages: Tape Face at MGM Grand, $69, or Mac King at Excalibur, $45.

Resident headliners

Sebastian Maniscalco plays blocks of dates in the Encore Theater at Wynn, 7 and 9:30 p.m., 90 minutes, from $74, with no published minimum age but mature language throughout. He is the best physical comic of his generation in a room built for it; the 9:30 show is usually the easier ticket, and central seats matter because the act is in his face and hands. Prices do not get kinder as the date approaches.

Carrot Top has run prop comedy in the Atrium Showroom at Luxor for two decades, normally 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 75 minutes, $53, ages 16 and up with under-18s accompanied. Performances have been canceled since he was hospitalized on September 18, 2026; Luxor and MGM Resorts have set October 19, 2026 as the return date and tickets from that night are on sale. If quick visual gags are your language, it is the most reliable laugh-per-minute ratio in town once it resumes; if prop comedy has never made you smile, this will not change that.

Eddie Griffin does raw, improvised sets in the Saxe Theater at the Miracle Mile Shops inside Planet Hollywood, 8:30 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and Friday and Saturday, 75 minutes, from $74, 18 and up. Phones go into locked pouches at the door, which adds real time to the line, so arrive 30 minutes early. Dark Thursday and Sunday, an easy miss on a weekend-only trip.

Luenell holds down 9:30 p.m. Sunday and Monday at Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club on the LINQ Promenade, 80 minutes, $53, 18 and up: the realest club set on the Strip, filthy and seasoned, for adults who know exactly what they are buying. Sunday beats Monday for the livelier room. Vinnie Favorito is the downtown counterpart at Notoriety on the third floor of Neonopolis, Friday through Sunday at 9 p.m., $38, 18 and up, and the front tables are the show's fuel; sit at the back with a drink if you would rather watch the roast than be in it.

The clubs: a new bill every week

• Comedy Cellar at the Rio, from $32, 7 and 9:30 p.m. on various dates, 80 minutes, 18 and up: the New York club's Las Vegas room, with rotating headliners rather than one name.
• Brad Garrett's Comedy Club at MGM Grand, from $45, 8 p.m., 75 to 90 minutes, 18 and up: touring headliners and rising comics in an intimate room, with Garrett himself on select dates.
• Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club on the LINQ Promenade, from $19 for the fixed 11:30 p.m. Saturday L8nite Set and about $20 to $45 for the rotating headliner shows, mostly Friday and Saturday at 7:30 or 9:30 p.m., 18 and up. You are buying the lineup, not the man on the sign; a $24 Tuesday with a strong mid-tier comic often beats a $45 weekend slot.
• Laugh Factory at Horseshoe, from $30, 8:30 p.m. nightly plus a late show at 10 or 10:30 p.m., 70 minutes, 18 and up. The 6:30 residency, the 8:30 rotating bill and the late show are different products at different prices, so read which one you are buying.
• Big Black Comedy Show at the V Theater in Miracle Mile, $38 with a drink included, 8:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 75 minutes, 16 and up for the language: a hosted rotation of fresh comics at tourist-strip convenience.
• L.A. Comedy Club on the casino floor at The STRAT, about $40, 6, 8 and 10 p.m., 75 minutes, 15 and up with a guardian from 15 to 17: 21 shows a week since 2007. The 8 p.m. draws the fullest room; the 10 p.m. runs bluer.
• Delirious Comedy Club, now at Silver Sevens on Paradise Road rather than Fremont Street, $35, 7 p.m. Thursday through Sunday with a bluer 9 p.m. After Dark set Friday and Saturday, 18 and up.

Clean comedy and comedy magic for mixed ages

None of the clubs above admit children, so a family's comedy night is a comedy magic show or a silent one. Tape Face at MGM Grand's Underground Theater is wordless physical comedy with props and audience volunteers, 7:30 p.m. nightly except Wednesday, 80 minutes, $69, all ages with under-18s accompanied, and it lands with a seven-year-old and a grandparent in the same row. Mac King at Excalibur, 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, $45, ages 5 and up, has been the clean afternoon option for twenty years. Piff the Magic Dragon at the Flamingo, $39, 7 p.m. Saturday through Thursday, ages 8 and up, is deadpan comedy wrapped around elite card magic; note he is dark on Friday. Adam London's Laughternoon, 4 p.m. Thursday through Monday at the Ahern Hotel, is all ages at about $23 with fees, and Popovich Comedy Pet Theater at 2:30 p.m. daily, $27, is the one for children under five. Downtown, Mike Hammer at the Four Queens keeps the language clean and the stunts edgy, 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, $45, recommended 13 and up.

For adults, the comedy-magic corner has Lioz, deliberately terrible magic played straight at the V Theater, $29.99, 8:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday, 18 and up, and An R-Rated Magic Show, $32, 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, 18 and up. Hypnosis Unleashed at the Four Queens, $34, 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, is a coin-flip by design that lands funny more often than not, best on a weekend when the volunteers are braver.

Touring names this fall

The Palazzo Theatre at The Venetian took over the Strip's stand-up traffic from the old Mirage room and runs a Friday and Saturday series at face prices of $35 to $46: Zoltan Kaszas October 2 ($35), Becky Robinson October 3 ($39), Tumua October 9 ($45.99), Heather McMahan October 10 ($35), Jay & Silent Bob October 16 ($39), Daniel Sloss October 23 ($39.99, 16 and up), Brad Williams November 7 ($45, sold out here in February) and Mark Normand December 4. Buy those at face through the resort; the resale listings on the popular nights run double.

MGM Grand's Aces of Comedy series in the MGM Grand Theater brings Derrick Stroup on December 6 and Steve Treviño December 10 to 12, both $39 at the box office, 10 p.m., 16 and up; rodeo week fills the hotel, so book the room before the ticket. Dolby Live at Park MGM hosts Kill Tony on November 13 and 14 (two different shows; sit close, the show is reaction shots) and Matt Rife on December 4, phones sealed in pouches. And The Book of Mormon plays The Venetian Theatre November 4 to 15 from $73: a real Broadway musical, two and a half hours of profane religious satire, with 2 p.m. matinees on November 7, 8, 13, 14 and 15.

How to pick a night

Decide participation first. Crowd-work rooms (Favorito, Luenell, Kimmel's on a roast night) turn the front tables into material, and the seat you choose is consent. Decide the language second: the clubs are 18 and up and the 10 p.m. sets run bluer than the 8 p.m. ones almost everywhere. Then price it: a club bill costs $19 to $45, a resident headliner $53 to $74, and the touring series at the Palazzo sells at face for $35 to $46 until the resale market notices. The live list is at comedy shows in Las Vegas; the cheapest of everything is in the best cheap shows under $50, and comedy against Cirque and the residencies is ranked in the best Las Vegas shows.
