Center Stage Comedy

Center Stage Comedy at The Mirage Hotel & Casino features one of the country’s most comprehensive and diverse comedic lineups. This award winning comedy series provides a calendar of laughs to keep you coming back again and again.

Over the last decade, the 1,257-seat Theatre has been the place to enjoy the best comedy in Las Vegas, featuring some of the most popular comedians worldwide including Tim Allen, Tiffany Haddish, Gabriel Iglesias, Jay Leno, Kathleen Madigan, Bill Maher, Ray Romano, David Spade, Iliza Shlesinger, Daniel Tosh and Ron White, among others.

Just some of the comedians appearing:

Ray Romano and Brian Regan take the stage together, bringing double the laughs. Romano, best known for his major role in the Emmy Award-winning series “Everybody Loves Raymond” and NBC’s “Parenthood,” has become a television favorite and a renowned stand-up comedian. Romano’s recent film credits include “Paddleton,” “The Big Sick,” Netflix’s “The Irishman” and HBO’s “Bad Education.”

Brian Regan is one of the country’s most respected comedians having built a prosperous 30-plus year career in comedy. Vanity Fair calls Regan “the funniest stand-up alive,” and Entertainment Weekly calls him “your favorite comedian’s favorite comedian.”  Regan premiered his second Netflix stand-up special, “Brian Regan: On The Rocks,” in February 2021, while also returning for his third season in Peter Farrelly’s TV series, “Loudermilk.” A regular on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and “The Late Show with David Letterman,” Brian has had plenty of experience entertaining through comedy.

Chelsea Handler is a comedian, television host, best-selling author and advocate whose humor and candor have established her as one of the most celebrated voices in entertainment and pop culture. After a strong seven-year run as the host of E!’s top-rated “Chelsea Lately,” a tenure in which Handler was the only female late-night talk show host on-air, she then launched her documentary series “Chelsea Does,” followed by her talk show Chelsea on Netflix in 2016. In 2022, Handler made her return to Netflix with her critically acclaimed comedy special Revolution.

Jim Jefferies has firmly established himself as one of the most popular and respected comedians of his generation, with a controversial and belief-challenging standup style that continues to surprise and entertain audiences across the globe. He is not only one of the best-selling touring comics but has also found critical success in his acting endeavors.

Multiple Emmy Award-winning and Grammy Award-nominated Wayne Brady has made his mark on stage and screen as an actor, producer, singer, dancer, songwriter, and television personality. Brady has an impressive TV resume including Whose Line Is It Anyway?, The Masked Singer, Black Lighting, The Good Fight and Showtime’s American Gigolo – each spotlighting different aspects of his immense talent. Brady is also host & executive producer for Let’s Make A Deal, Game of Talents and Comedy IQ. Brady’s musical acumen is impressive too – he dropped a brand-new original single, entitled “Flirtin’ w/ Forever,” which quickly climbed the streaming charts, as well as an accompanying music video. Brady has also triumphed on-stage starting with his Broadway debut as legal showman ‘Billy Flynn’ in the long-running hit musical, “Chicago” and also starring as the ground-breaking character ‘Lola’ in “Kinky Boots”, Broadway’s Tony Award- winning Best Musical.

Kathy Griffin is a stand-up comedian, actress, author and television personality best known for her reality show Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List. The double Emmy winning Chicago native is a multi-faceted performer with a rapid-fire wit. As a reviewer said “Ms. Griffin’s appeal is in her ability to combine insider access to the world of the famous (or at least the pseudo-famous) and her willingness to be frank about its inhabitants. Kathy has the rare ability to talk to a giant audience as if it’s an intimate conversation. She’s the hilarious friend recounting day-to-day stories, except she never lets you get a word in edgewise”.

During her 28 year career Kathleen Madigan has performed on nearly every late night show ever made – Leno, Letterman, Conan, Ferguson and most recently in 2015 on the new The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, and Ron White’s Salute To The Troops on CMT. She’s done a couple of USO tours to Iraq and Afghanistan with fellow performers. She is regarded as one of the most respected comedians of her generation and the recipient of the American Comedy Award for “Best Female Comedian.”

Funnyman and Saturday Night Live alum Dana Carvey is the mastermind behind some of comedy’s most beloved personas, from Wayne’s World’s Garth Algar to SNL’s Church Lady. One of the best impersonators in the business, Carvey takes aim at everyone from celebrities to past presidents in his hilarious standup act, only relenting to add off-color but hilariously insightful bits from his personal experience to the mix. Much to the delight of fans, Carvey is shamelessly devoted to pleasing his audience — each routine ends with a 15-minute Q&A where he fields questions and reprises characters from his rich comedic past.

Jeff Foxworthy is one of the most respected and successful comedians in the country. He is the largest selling comedy-recording artist in history, a multiple Grammy Award nominee and best selling author of more than 26 books. In 2014, he was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. Widely known for his redneck jokes, his act goes well beyond that to explore the humor in everyday family interactions and human nature.

Kevin James made his stand-up debut in 1989 before going on to score a breakthrough at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal in 1996. His guest roles on Ray Romano’s CBS sitcom “Everybody Loves Raymond” led to his own show. After its premiere in 1998, The King of Queens became one of television’s top-rated comedies. The 2001 release of his first stand-up special “Kevin James: Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff” proved that his TV success had done nothing to dull his wry take on life or his skills as a physical comedian. James established himself as a major box-office draw thanks to such hits as “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry” and “Paul Blart: Mall Cop”. In 2016, he returned to television to headline another hit sitcom, “Kevin Can Wait”, before bringing his career full circle with the live performances that led to Kevin James: Never Don’t Give Up.
