Choose your seat for The Wolf carefully. Colin Kane bites.
The insult comic, known for sourcing victims among his crowds, is headed to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for The Wolf, a new residency launching July 27 inside Vinyl. There, in appropriately intimate environs, Kane will unleash his brand of very much NSFW humor, which tends towards sex acts, relationships and bodily functions, and is best avoided by anyone easily offended or with a tendency to blush.
Kane, who will perform through September 28 with tickets running $25 for the 18+ show, may be the most explicit comedian to pop up on the Las Vegas calendar, but he's not the only comic with a fresh residency in town. In fact, the Los Angeles-based performer is the third funny guy to debut a new show in recent months.
Colin Kane launches "The Wolf," a new residency at Hard Rock Hotel on July 27.
In May, Eddie Griffin arrived at the Sayers Club at the SLS, kicking off a months-long run dubbed The Eddie Griffin Experience at the chic casino venue. The actor, comedian and Vegas resident, known for his performances in Undercover Brother and John Q, has a personal style with a focus on storytelling and bits that touch on religion, his childhood and raising kids. Griffin is appearing Monday to Wednesday at the Sayers Club with tickets starting from $69, and reserving his weekends for tour dates with George Lopez, DL Hughley and Cedric the Entertainer as part of The Comedy Get Down. This fall, Griffin will also appear alongside Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in the remake of A Star is Born (though no word on whether his experiences with the film get a nod in the SLS set).
Also taking over a Las Vegas stage is a familiar face who's been absent from the Strip in recent years. Comedian George Wallace spent a decade performing at the Flamingo Las Vegas before shuttering his show in 2014. Now Wallace is back with a fresh residency inside the Westgate Resort & Casino's cabaret theater, where his material will pull from the day's headlines and the crowd in the seats.
"I'm very happy to return to Las Vegas on a regular basis," said Wallace via release. "Time away from the city the last few years has provided me with plenty of new material and experiences to add into the show."
Wallace's residency launched June 26, and will run Tuesday-Thursday with tickets starting at $65. For $95 you can reserve your place in the VIP front-row, where you may become part of the veteran comic's set. Though there's no need to worry too much about that; Wallace has a lighter touch than the wolf up the street.
