The Improv at Harrah’s Las Vegas: This Week’s Headliner – Bobby Collins

Budd Friedman and Mark Lonow’s world-famous Improv Comedy Club at Harrah’s Las Vegas showcases a different marquee of acts each week. Bobby Collins takes the stage tomorrow through Sunday, with supporting acts Michael Preminger and Dana Eagle.

Improv shows are at 8:30pm and 10:30pm every Tuesday through Sunday. Tickets are $29.05 (plus applicable taxes) or $44.95 (plus applicable taxes) for VIP tickets that include special seating and an Improv t-shirt. Special two-for-one tickets are also available for locals during the 10:30pm show. Tickets are available at Harrah’s Box Office (702-369-5223) and online at www.harrahs.com.

As one of today’s leading and most sought-after comedic talents, Bobby Collins’ heartfelt and witty humor engages audiences with a clever blend of characterizations and hilarious observations, to which everyone can relate. Collins lives to make people laugh. From the moment he hits the stage, he connects with the crowd, gets into their mind and draws them inside his world.

From starring in his own Showtime specials and being Rosie O’Donnell’s predecessor to host VH1’s Stand-Up Spotlight, to opening for such names as Cher, Dolly Parton, Julio Iglesias and Tony Bennett, Collins delivers. He was nominated for a CableACE Award as well as for the American Comedy Awards “Stand-up Comic of the Year.” Collins’ first CD, “On The Inside,” showcased his wide-ranging observational material and his second CD, “Out of Bounds,” earned him a Grammy nomination. While live stage performances in New York, Las Vegas and Atlantic City are forever expanding his list of faithful followers, he has also appeared in five feature films and numerous television shows.

Even with live stage performances, talk show appearances and a TV special in the works, Collins is a dedicated family man with a heart of gold.
