Carlos Mencia
2026-08-05 21:30 - 2026-08-06 00:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
August opens at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club with Carlos Mencia on Wednesday the 5th, 9:30 PM. Mencia’s comedy is built on the idea that the most interesting material lives in the uncomfortable spaces — race, class, identity, and the gaps between what people say and what they mean.
His Las Vegas residency at this Strip club is one of the most consistent comedy experiences in the city, and an August Wednesday crowd tends to bring a mix of locals and summer visitors who make for an energetic room.

Sarah Colonna
2026-08-05 20:00 - 22:30
Wednesday, August 5 at 8:00 PM — Sarah Colonna is mid-week at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club at MGM Grand, and her material plays particularly well to a midweek Las Vegas crowd that came specifically to listen.
The New York Times bestselling author of Life As I Blow It, Colonna has always built her comedy on real life rather than invented scenarios — and the Vegas shows this week put that precise, honest voice in a room where you can hear every perfectly timed pause land exactly right.

Vicki Barbolak
2026-08-05 19:30 - 22:00
The Wednesday, August 5 show at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club belongs to Vicki Barbolak — 7:30 PM on the Las Vegas Strip.
Coming off her Tuesday evening set, Barbolak brings the same personally grounded stand-up to a midweek crowd: trailer park pride, family chaos, and the unfiltered perspective of a woman who turned her real life into a comedy brand. Her ease with the audience is the thing that keeps the room locked in from start to finish. Two nights in a row at Jimmy Kimmel’s is a good problem to have.

Mind2Mind - Mentalist Duo
2026-08-05 19:00 - 21:30 | Fontainebleau Las Vegas, 2777 South Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, 89015
Wednesday, August 5 at 7:00 PM at Azul — Fontainebleau Las Vegas’s Casino-level performance lounge — Mind2Mind performs the midweek show in a room that delivers an unusually close experience for this level of act.
James and Marina are World Champions of Mentalism with a FISM Gold Medal from 2025 and a global following built through Got Talent stages and international residencies. Their Las Vegas show is 75 minutes of mentalism that treats the intimate setting as an asset rather than a limitation. Marina’s blindfolded reads from one side of Azul create a silence in the room that you won’t find on the Strip floor below.

Comedy Cellar
2026-08-05 19:00 - 21:30
Wednesday August 5 at 7:00 PM, Comedy Cellar Las Vegas at the Rio opens midweek early with a 90-minute showcase that pulls five rotating headliners across a range of styles, voices, and approaches to stand-up. That variety is built into the Comedy Cellar’s format: no single headliner anchoring the night, but five of them sharing it.
The rotating weekly bill for this week at the Rio is assembled fresh and announced close to showtime. Five comics, each doing a proper 15-to-20-minute set in the intimate underground room modeled on the original Greenwich Village club. Early Wednesday at 7:00 PM in Las Vegas is a strong midweek option, and the Comedy Cellar makes good use of the timeslot.

The Wizard of Oz at Sphere
2026-08-05 14:00 - 16:30 | Sphere, 255 Sands Ave, Las Vegas, 89169, (725) 258-6724
Wednesday, August 5 at 2:00 PM is a midweek Sphere slot that works especially well if you are bringing people who have not seen The Wizard of Oz at Sphere yet and want to watch the reaction.
The foam apples falling from the ceiling, the snow in the poppy fields, and the UAV-deployed flying monkeys are the kinds of physical production details that land hard on a first viewing in Las Vegas. The whole experience is staged to generate that genuine reaction — physical surprise treated as deliberate craft rather than optional gimmick.

Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways
2026-08-05 13:00 - 17:00, 2026-08-04 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.

Comedy Cellar
2026-08-04 21:30 - 2026-08-05 00:00
Tuesday August 4 at 9:30 PM, Comedy Cellar Las Vegas at the Rio is running its late showcase with five rotating headliners in the underground room. The back-to-back headliner format means there is no pace drop between sets: every comic who takes the stage is someone who closes rooms, and they go one after another for 90 minutes of August stand-up in Las Vegas.
The adults-only 18-and-up room at the Rio, built to mirror the original New York Comedy Cellar, keeps the material unfiltered and the audience close. The rotating weekly lineup for this week is announced fresh, assembled from the Comedy Cellar’s network of serious working comedians. Late Tuesday has rarely had a better reason to stay out.

JOHN ZITO LIVE EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT 9 PM , FOLLOWED BY A LIVE JAM AT 11PM
2026-08-04 20:00 - 23:59 | DIVEBAR Las Vegas, 4110 S MARYLAND PARKWAY, #12, Las Vegas, NV, 89119, United States

The Wizard of Oz at Sphere
2026-08-04 20:00 - 22:30 | Sphere, 255 Sands Ave, Las Vegas, 89169, (725) 258-6724
Tuesday, August 4 at 8:00 PM, Sphere runs The Wizard of Oz in a late evening slot — the Emerald City sequences glow across a 16K wraparound screen in a darkened room, and the pyrotechnics in the Wizard’s throne room arrive like controlled thunder inside Las Vegas’s most technically advanced venue.
The production fires real flames synchronized to the film and the remastered score through 167,000 speakers. Las Vegas evenings have a particular quality when a show is built to genuinely match them at full scale, and this one is.

Sarah Colonna
2026-08-04 20:00 - 22:30
Tuesday, August 4 at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club inside MGM Grand — Sarah Colonna is back at 8:00 PM, and Tuesday audiences tend to be the ones who came specifically for her.
Her stand-up special I Can’t Feel My Legs landed on Netflix, and the Off the Rails podcast she co-hosts with Josh Wolf shows her comfort with conversational, candid comedy. Live, that ease translates into a set that feels like she’s just telling you what happened to her, except it’s hilarious.

Michael Yo Hot Mess Comedy
2026-08-04 19:30 - 22:00
Tuesday, August 4 at 7:30 PM, Michael Yo brings his Hot Mess Comedy show to Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club — the Strip’s go-to room for a Tuesday night that actually delivers.
Yo’s comedy pulls from his Korean-Black Houston upbringing, his time on Chelsea Lately, and a genuine gift for making chaos feel relatable. Hot Mess Comedy lives up to its name: spontaneous, pop culture-saturated, and always a little unpredictable. He reads the room from the jump and adjusts in real time, which keeps even familiar material feeling fresh. Las Vegas crowds suit him perfectly.

Mind2Mind - Mentalist Duo
2026-08-04 19:00 - 21:30 | Fontainebleau Las Vegas, 2777 South Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, 89015
Tuesday, August 4 at 7:00 PM, Mind2Mind opens the new week at Azul inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas with a Mentalist Duo show that runs exactly as sharp midweek as it does on weekends.
James Harrington and Marina Liani are FISM Gold Medalists and award-winning mentalists known from America’s Got Talent, Britain’s Got Talent, and Masters of Illusion. Their Las Vegas residency is built on a specific act: after one opening ritual, they separate, Marina goes blindfolded, and she reads private thoughts from strangers across the intimate Azul lounge. Tuesday in Las Vegas has rarely offered this much.

Vicki Barbolak
2026-08-04 17:30 - 20:00
Vicki Barbolak opens August at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club with the Tuesday early show on August 4 at 5:30 PM.
Her nationally recognized “Trailer Nasty” comedy — built on personal stories of marriage, motherhood, and working-class life — earned her a top-10 spot on America’s Got Talent and a loyal following she’s brought right here to the Las Vegas Strip. She turns domestic specifics into broadly funny stand-up with a warmth and precision that fills the room from the first minute. An early start makes this one of the most accessible shows on the Strip this week.

Preacher Lawson
2026-08-03 21:30 - 2026-08-04 00:00
Monday, August 3 at 9:30 PM, Preacher Lawson takes the stage at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club — one of the Strip’s tightest comedy rooms — for a weeknight show that punches well above its night-of-week slot.
Known for stories that build with genuine comedic architecture and a stage presence that reads as clearly in the back row as the front, Lawson has the kind of act that turns first-timers into fans fast. He’s one of the most watchable comedians working Las Vegas right now.
