LAS VEGAS - Dec. 17, 2015 - PRLog -- Don Barnhart has been selected for the 2015 Best of Las Vegas Award in the Comedy Shows category by the Best Businesses of Las Vegas Award Program.

Each year, the Best Businesses of Las Vegas Award Program identifies companies that we believe have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category.

These exceptional companies help make the Las Vegas area a great place to live, work and play.

Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2015 Best Businesses of Las Vegas Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the Best Businesses of Las Vegas Award Program and data provided by third parties.

You may not know Barnhart by name as he performs over 300 day a year on the road and much of that has been dedicated to entertaining our troops around the world.  He has been headlining the Las Vegas strip for years and when he is not on tour, Barnhart is a regular at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club, The Improv, Las Vegas Live, The Laugh Factory, LA Comedy club and The Riviera.  Don is currently on a world tour before heading back to Vegas where rumor has it, he is in negotiations to become a resident headliner.

Over the last year, Barnhart's film career has really been gaining steam as he stars in the documentary, Finding The Funny with Brad Garret and Louie Anderson (http://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwcomedy/comedian/Louie-And...) and plays a rather disgruntled, road weary and carefree comedian in the upcoming comedy film, Tribute To Fluffy.

Don just wrapped production on the cannabis comedy Reefer Rendum and is currently in preproduction on the new comedy film, The Freeloader, which he wrote and stars in. The movie will begin shooting in Las Vegas at the end of 2015 and is based on Barnhart's book of the same name. Barnhart's character, a returning Vet, becomes the Robin Hood of the Homeless as he finds his way back into society.

Barnhart's ‘DeEvolution of Man Comedy Tour’ is as entertaining as it is poignant. Named "Best Bet" by the Las Vegas Review Journal, Barnhart's DeEvolution of Man tour is part one man show, part stand up and full on funny and the award-winning comedian keeps audiences of all ages howling with laughter and coming back for more.

A modern day "cave man", Don Barnhart (http://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwcomedy/comedian/Don-Barnhart) takes audiences on a comedy thrill ride exploring the waning tide of male gender identification and man's declining role in modern day society in a way that is hysterical, highly entertaining and thought provoking.
