Resident headliner James Michael arrived on horseback to christen the new showroom
The new L.A. Comedy Club at Edgewater, located inside Edgewater Casino Resort, celebrated its grand opening last night with a lineup of hilarious performances by resident comic James Michael and guest comics Julio Gonzalez and Jay Reid.
Michael, arrived on horseback to officially commence the event. He was then joined on the red carpet by two of L.A. Comedy Club’s most popular comedians, Julio Gonzalez and Jay Reid, where they playfully posed for photos. Other guests on the red carpet included Joaquin Trujillo and Matt Chavez, two of the co-owners of VEGAS JEM, which produces L.A. Comedy Club. To commemorate the new showroom, a proclamation was presented on behalf of Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft.
Gonzalez opened the night’s show with a hilarious set, followed by Michael, who had the crowd roaring with laughter. Next to perform was Jay Reid, winner of “Bill Bellamy’s Who’s Got Jokes,” who had the audience in stitches. After Reid’s set, Michael returned to the stage to welcome everyone to his new home in Laughlin and to give shout-outs to L.A. Comedy Club at Edgewater’s staff and production team. Michael then brought Trujillo to the stage.
The evening gave the crowd a taste of what L.A. Comedy Club at Edgewater offers audiences – top-notch stand-up comedy and live entertainment in a showroom with a full bar and cool, laidback vibe.
