  • Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) December 19, 2010 - Award winning comedian Don Barnhart returns to headline The Ice House Comedy Club Jan 7-8, 2011. Barnhart has been a favorite at the club for years and was featured on their 50th Anniversary All Star Show now available on DVD.

    Fans of the Ice House might remember Don as one of the stars of the last KLOS 5-O'Clock Funnies All Star Show Special created and hosted by legendary radio personality Geno Michellini at The Grove Theatre in Anaheim. It was there that Don starred alongside Pablo Francisco, Rocky LaPorte and the late, great Richard Jeni. "Geno had always been a huge fan and gave me tons of radio airplay even labeling myself and some comedy pals from Southern California, 'The South Bay Boys' which we later put together as an improv group and went to Second City", exclaimed Don.

    Barnhart, an award winning comedian and certified hypnotist continues to perform both his stand-up show and hypnosis shows at the top comedy clubs across the country and is becoming a regular name in Vegas. Don had his own comedy hypnosis show running all summer on the Vegas strip and continues to headline the top comedy clubs venues across the country.

    In 2010, Don was honored by receiving the International Performing Artists "Bob Hope - Humanitarian Award" for his tireless dedication producing and performing comedy show for the troop stationed around the world. He was also nominated for the Las Vegas Review-Journal's 2010 "Best Comedian" award.

    Barnhart had already established himself as one of the top comedians working today. Audiences say Don reminds them of a young George Carlin with the physical characterizations of Jim Carey making him funny on so many different levels. He is an accomplished actor, certified hypnotist, published author and filmmaker with numerous television and film credits and is still a favorite headliner at the top comedy clubs and cruise ships.

    Don combines well written, topical material and delivers it with a fast paced, high energy and animated improvisational flair that keeps audiences of all ages howling with laughter and coming back for more. Barnhart also has the rare title of the only headlining comedian who also performs a comedy hypnosis show. Don can be booked either as a comedy headliner, comedy hypnotist or combination of both shows for your venue.

    Barnhart's production company, Don Barnhart Entertaiment was hired to shoot the Ice House's Anniversary Show and Don recently wrote, directed and starred in the indie thriller, "China Dolls". Barnhart is also the writer, director and star of the upcoming comedy film, "Freeloader" and was nominated for the 2010 "Best Comedian" in Las Vegas as well as "Best Hypnosis Show".

Barnhart also won the Grand Prize for the 2007 American Idol Underground Comedy Award and was recently voted "One of the top 100 comedians to see" 3 years in a row by Entertainment Business Journal.

    He can be heard regularly on The Bob and Tom Show and XM/Sirius Satellite Radio and is a veteran performer for The USO and Comics On Duty and has been entertaining the troops around the world for the last seventeen years.
