Jay Reid
2026-08-13 19:30 - 22:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Thursday, August 13 at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club — Jay Reid’s Comedy & Cocktails at 7:30 PM, mid-August on the Strip with summer still running at full force and the Promenade crowds at their peak.
Reid has been doing this show long enough to know exactly how to read a summer Las Vegas audience: what they need, how fast to pace the set, and how to make a cocktail-in-hand weeknight crowd feel like the show was made specifically for them. His relatable humor and dynamic stage presence are well-matched to any version of a mid-week Las Vegas room.

Bucky Heard
2026-08-13 19:00 - 21:30
Bucky Heard, the powerhouse vocalist of the Righteous Brothers, steps out for a solo evening at Myron’s at The Smith Center on August 13, 2026, in downtown Las Vegas. Alabama-born and a trained singer with a wide, gutsy rock-and-roll range, Heard was handpicked by Bill Medley in 2016 to join the Righteous Brothers after Bobby Hatfield’s passing, and the pair have since performed the iconic catalog across Las Vegas and the country. This intimate outing lets Heard showcase his own voice and interpretations away from the duo format. Myron’s is the cabaret-style room inside The Smith Center in Symphony Park, a short hop from the Strip and downtown, with close seating and crisp acoustics that reward a strong singer. For fans of classic pop vocals and blue-eyed soul, it is a chance to hear a genuine Vegas voice up close. Get tickets and plan your Las Vegas visit.

Mind2Mind - Mentalist Duo
2026-08-13 19:00 - 21:30 | Fontainebleau Las Vegas, 2777 South Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, 89015
Thursday, August 13 at 7:00 PM, Mind2Mind continues their residency at Azul in Fontainebleau Las Vegas with a show deep in the summer run that shows no sign of losing its edge.
James Harrington and Marina Liani are award-winning mentalists, FISM Gold Medalists, and the couple behind some of Got Talent’s most viral moments. Their Las Vegas residency puts that skill to work in Azul’s limited-capacity lounge, where the act’s precision — Marina blindfolded, reading thoughts from across the room — hits differently at close range. Thursday crowds at Azul tend to be especially engaged.

Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways
2026-08-13 13:00 - 17:00, 2026-08-12 13:00 - 17:00 | Nevada Humanities Program Gallery, 1017 S. 1st Street, #190, Las Vegas, 89191, United States
Nevada Humanities presents Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways, an exhibition celebrating the diverse food traditions and stories of the people of the Silver State. Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways will be on display at the Nevada Humanities Program Gallery in Las Vegas from June 4 to Aug. 26, 2026.
Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways features stories about the food traditions of Nevadans as told through handmade, descriptive, illustrated recipe cards and zines. A zine is a small, handmade, self-published booklet or magazine that provides a hands-on, do-it-yourself way to share stories, artwork, poetry, and ideas. Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways will display food-oriented zines and recipe cards created by everyday Nevadans from across the state that represent the diversity and meaning of Nevada’s family food traditions.
Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways is part of Nevada Humanities’ Around the Table initiative of free, public humanities-based programming in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout 2026, Nevada Humanities invites Nevadans to share and celebrate their diverse food traditions through a series of public events and creative reflections that explore Nevada foodways, food traditions, and expressive culture across the Silver State. Nevada Humanities will document Nevadans’ food stories and traditions in a new zine and recipe card collection housed in the Nevada Humanities archives. For more information on making zines or contributing to the collection, visit Around the Table: Contribute Your Recipe Cards and Zines to learn more.
As part of Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways, Nevada Humanities is hosting a series of zine making workshops during May, June, and July 2026. Event information will be available soon at nevadahumanities.org/calendar and in our upcoming email newsletters.
Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways is supported by Nevada Humanities’ generous donors and is produced by Nevada Humanities as part of the national initiative By the People: Conversations Beyond 250, which is a series of community-driven programs created by humanities councils in collaboration with local partners. By the People was developed by the Federation of State Humanities Councils and the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage.
The Nevada Humanities Program Gallery is located at 1017 S. 1st Street, #190, Las Vegas, and is open for viewing Monday – Friday, 1-5 p.m., and on the first Friday of the month until 10 p.m. for First Friday events.
For more information, contact Bobbie Ann Howell via email at bahowell@nevadahumanities.org or by phone at 702-800-4670.

The Wizard of Oz at Sphere
2026-08-13 11:00 - 13:30 | Sphere, 255 Sands Ave, Las Vegas, 89169, (725) 258-6724
Thursday, August 13 opens at 11:00 AM at Sphere — a morning show in Las Vegas that puts The Wizard of Oz in front of you as a summer day gets underway, leaving the full afternoon free for the Strip afterward.
Sphere’s production has been running for nearly a year, and the physical effects — snow in the poppy fields, foam apples from the ceiling, pyrotechnics in the palace, UAV flying monkeys — are triggered live at every single performance. Morning or evening, Thursday or Saturday, you get the full show every time without exception.

Comedy Cellar
2026-08-12 21:30 - 2026-08-13 00:00
Wednesday August 12 at 9:30 PM, Comedy Cellar Las Vegas at the Rio goes late midweek with five rotating headliners each getting proper stage time in the underground room. Fifteen to twenty minutes per comic is a meaningful set, enough to build and land material, and the Comedy Cellar’s format gives that to every person on the bill.
The rotating weekly lineup for August 12 is assembled fresh and announced close to showtime, five headliner-caliber stand-ups doing their best work in a 300-seat room at the Rio that was designed to mirror the original New York Comedy Cellar. Adults-only 18-and-up showcase, 90 minutes total. Late Wednesday in Las Vegas runs well here.

Carlos Mencia
2026-08-12 21:30 - 2026-08-13 00:00
Mid-August’s Wednesday slot belongs to Carlos Mencia at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club, August 12 at 9:30 PM.
He approaches comedy as cultural excavation — digging into race, Latin American identity, and American social life and finding the absurdity buried underneath. Mencia’s residency here has become something Las Vegas audiences count on, and the intimate setup of the club means you’re never far from the action when he decides to pull the crowd in. His material on class and identity has grown sharper over the years, and this midweek set reflects that evolution.

Brad Garretts Comedy - Alonzo Bodden with Derek Richards
2026-08-12 20:00 - 22:30
Wednesday’s 8 PM slot at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club belongs to Alonzo Bodden headlining with Derek Richards — the mid-week edition of their August run at MGM Grand on the Las Vegas Strip.
Bodden performs nearly 200 shows a year, and his observational style pulls from race, politics, and the texture of modern American life with a wit that consistently lands in a room like this. Derek Richards keeps things moving as the feature act, making the pairing work smoothly from the opening set all the way through to the headliner closing out the night.

Vicki Barbolak Trailer Park Happy Hour
2026-08-12 19:30 - 22:00
Wednesday, August 12 at 7:30 PM, Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club on the Strip hosts another installment of Vicki Barbolak’s Trailer Park Happy Hour. The Wednesday-night show has a slightly different rhythm from the Tuesday afternoon sets — a later start, a crowd that’s been out in Las Vegas for a few hours, and a room that’s fully warmed up.
Barbolak is one of the more consistent performers on the Strip right now; her stand-up persona, built on real-life storytelling and working-class wit, connects with first-timers and regulars in equal measure.

Mind2Mind - Mentalist Duo
2026-08-12 19:00 - 21:30 | Fontainebleau Las Vegas, 2777 South Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, 89015
Wednesday, August 12 at 7:00 PM at Azul inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Mind2Mind performs their Mentalist Duo residency for a midweek crowd that has figured out the Strip’s best current show.
James and Marina are World Champions of Mentalism — FISM Gold Medalists in 2025 — who perform a 75-minute show of psychological theatre built around one central act: Marina, blindfolded on one end of Azul, reading what strangers are thinking on the other. They’ve appeared on multiple Got Talent franchises, but the intimate Azul setting is where the act operates at its peak. The pre-show hour starts at 6 PM with close-up magic.

The Wizard of Oz at Sphere
2026-08-12 17:00 - 19:30 | Sphere, 255 Sands Ave, Las Vegas, 89169, (725) 258-6724
Wednesday, August 12 at 5:00 PM, Sphere’s evening show of The Wizard of Oz draws a late-summer Las Vegas crowd that brings real energy to a midweek slot on the Strip.
Atmospheric fog rolls across the space during the Haunted Forest, wind arrays build the tornado from every direction, and infrasound haptic seats emit tones through the seating during the climactic sequences. The production makes every Wednesday in August feel like a proper evening event rather than a midweek afterthought — not something many shows can actually claim.

Brad Garretts Comedy - Alonzo Bodden with Derek Richards
2026-08-11 20:00 - 22:30
Tuesday night at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club, Alonzo Bodden headlines with Derek Richards in support — an 8 PM show on August 11 that pairs two road-tested performers in one of the Strip’s most intimate comedy rooms.
Bodden is a Last Comic Standing winner whose set ranges from sharp social commentary to quick-witted takes on everyday life; Richards brings a fast, slightly fanatical energy that warms the room right up. Las Vegas gets this pairing for a full week run at MGM Grand.

Michael Yo
2026-08-11 19:30 - 22:00
August 11 is a Tuesday, and that means Michael Yo is at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club at 7:30 PM for another Hot Mess set on the Strip.
Yo’s comedy is rooted in his identity as a biracial — Black and Asian — comedian with sharp takes on marriage, fatherhood, and the friction of modern life, and he delivers it all with a speed and crowd-reading ability that makes even familiar setups feel fresh. He’s been sharpening this material through a full summer run, and August audiences get the tightest version of the set. A strong midweek option in Las Vegas.

Mind2Mind - Mentalist Duo
2026-08-11 19:00 - 21:30 | Fontainebleau Las Vegas, 2777 South Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, 89015
Tuesday, August 11 at 7:00 PM, Azul at Fontainebleau Las Vegas opens the week with Mind2Mind’s Mentalist Duo residency — a show that has spent the summer earning a reputation that carries well past the Strip.
James and Marina are the FISM Gold Medalists who blew up on America’s Got Talent and Britain’s Got Talent before landing in Las Vegas. Their act is distinct in the mentalism world: complete isolation between performers, a single ritualized opening, and then Marina blindfolded at the far end of the intimate lounge doing something that consistently defies explanation. A well-chosen Tuesday night in Las Vegas.

Comedy Cellar
2026-08-11 19:00 - 21:30
Tuesday August 11 at 7:00 PM, Comedy Cellar Las Vegas at the Rio runs the early show differently from how most comedy clubs work. There is no opener setting the pace or middle act bridging the gap: five rotating headliners go back to back from the first minute, each with 15 to 20 minutes of their own material in the underground room.
The weekly rotating lineup for this week at the Rio is announced fresh close to showtime, assembled from the Comedy Cellar’s network of serious working stand-ups. Ninety minutes of headliner-caliber showcase stand-up in a 300-seat intimate room built after the original New York club. Early Tuesday in August at the Comedy Cellar is the early version of exactly that.
