Russell Peters (September 6, the Pearl) The most famous comedian you’ve probably never heard of is a megastar around the globe, but hasn’t broken through the same way here in the States. Come see why he’s an internationally funny phenomenon.

Iliza Shlesinger & Sarah Colonna (November 14, Venetian) The Lipshtick series has had some excellent shows and some clunkers. This is a great bet to join the former, pairing Shlesinger, the only female winner of Last Comic Standing, with Colonna, a touring and festival veteran.

Billy Gardell (November 27, Treasure Island) The man behind the Road Dogs comedy series and the star of Mike & Molly has finally risen to a level of fame that suits his strong act. He’s blue-collar through and through, and his jokes are hilarious in a relatable way.
