Good (clean) comedy show?
 
My wife will be traveling to Las Vegas in June. Neither of us has ever been there. Unfortunately, she's going without me and for a serious medical consultation, but will be with a good friend. There will be one night free, so I'm wondering if there would be a comedy show or something entertaining that she would enjoy. She and her friend would not enjoy anything R rated. I would appreciate any ideas.

Edited to note that she's in her 50s. We're Americans, but haven't lived in the US for a number of years, so we're not really up on the latest.

They may enjoy Rita Rudner at Harrah's. It's more PG-13 and her "men are stupid" jokes obviously appeal to women ;) . Here are some reviews: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractio...as_Nevada.html

Wayne Brady at Venetian might be a good choice as well. Similar to his skits on Whose Line is it Anyway. There is some occasional profanity but nothing too dirty. The show has limited dates.

Hope all works out well with your wife's medical condition.

is mac king still around? haven't been to las in a while (out of work but i digress) but iirc, it's a kid friendly matinee show if that helps

I was going to ask if Mac King was still around too; also haven't been back to Vegas in a year and a half. Haven't been able to fit his afternoon show in yet but when I researched it, it had some really good reviews.

Not exactly comedy, but I really enjoyed Penn & Teller. Also probably PG-13.

So they totally changed their type of act? No cut off fingers? No blood or twisted humor?

Thanks all. I appreciate the good ideas.

Vegas for "clean" comedy? Isn't that why God invented Branson? :D :D :D

It's not good if it's clean... you did say 50's not 5 right...

George Wallace at the Flamingo was pretty enjoyable, and didn't drop any F-bombs. 10 o'clock show though.

Okay, true. They did pretend to have actually sawn a woman in half with blood, etc. Clean language-wise (all the cussing on their TV show is for legal reasons. If it's vulgar, it's not slander).

I would really recommend Terry Fator at the Mirage.

We saw a lot of shows last year and his show was absolutly amazing and very funny.
