For six years running, the Riviera Comedy Club was voted the "Best Comedy Club in Las Vegas" by readers of the local Review-Journal newspaper. The specialty here is stand-up comedy delivered in an intimate nightclub setting, featuring routines by some of the brightest, funniest, up-and-coming talent in the country.
From the canopy-covered entrance to the neon-studded walls and small stage area, the Riviera Comedy Club is reminiscent of a swanky Manhattan lounge. Recent acts have included ventriloquists and hypnotists, as well as "shock" comedians and occasional duos. Among the latest performers to take the stage are Jackson Perdue, Willie Farrell, JJ Ramirez, John Mendoza, and Wendy Hammers, both of who have appeared on television.
Two shows are performed nightly in the Comedy Club Showroom of the Mardi Gras Pavilion, Level 2, at 8pm and 10pm. Doors open 30~45 minutes prior to each show. Acts change weekly and last approximately 75 minutes. The cost of general admission is $24.99 plus tax, and tickets including dinner and the show are available.
The Riviera Comedy Club is located inside the Riviera Hotel & Casino at 2901 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109. All guests must be at least 18 years of age.
