Tom Cotter has played both the comedy clubs and a big room on the Strip. But this weekend in the suburbs is his first Las Vegas billing as a headliner.
Shows
Meet David Harris of “Thunder From Down Under.” He was a cast member of the wildly popular New Zealand reality series “Strip Search,” about guys forming a male dance revue.
Yes, the show is called “Panda!” And huggable, roly-poly pandas you get, from the moment they come bouncing down the aisles to kick off the opening acrobatics in their bamboo forest.

It won’t be a family tell-all, but the Jackson brothers — Jermaine, Tito, Marlon and Jackie — will share rare insights when they return to the Strip in April for the first time in 20 years.
Palms comedian Lisa Lampanelli is the queen of news. She has lost 107 pounds, is going to Broadway this year and just cut off most of her hair. “I got my hair all chopped off because I was mad at my husband,” Lampanelli says.
If you need no introduction to Bill Fayne, you may already have tickets for “A Love Story” this afternoon.
U.S. stage hypnotist Scott Lewis has plunged to his death from the balcony of a Sydney apartment, Australian police said on Sunday.
Here we go again. “Again” being the operative word for legions of “Mamma Mia!” fans who can’t get enough of the spangled, spandex-bedecked jukebox musical spouting all ABBA, all the time.
The “Kung Fu Panda” of movie fame has his animated tiger and monkey allies. But when the “Panda!” of a new stage show gets picked on, he calls in real-live Shaolin kung fu fighters; one of them only 7 years old.
Kevin Lepine’s “Hypnosis Unleashed” recently celebrated a year in the cozy showroom at Hooters Hotel, no small achievement at a place that’s faced its larger struggles and hasn’t been able to offer much support.
Radio-friendly rockers Daughtry headline The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on Feb. 14. General admission tickets are $35, reserved seats are $45 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com and Ticketmaster outlets.
Each year, those who still proclaim Elvis is still the King flock to the Cannery for “The Celebration of the King’s Life.”
