Starring Comedians Don Barnhart & Sarah Halstead
Direct from his own show in Las Vegas, comedian Don Barnhart goes from family friendly to risqué without missing a beat and does so in such a charming, improvisational way you’ll be so busy laughing you won’t notice or care. His comedy has been labeled smart, witty, and intellectual to downright silly and his facial expressions can tell you more than the words convey in any story. Don Barnhart has both a family friendly Dry Bar Comedy Special and an unapologetically funny Amazon Prime Special that doesn’t hold back.
Since 1992, Don Barnhart has been entertaining the troops around the world and is the inspiration and featured in the documentary, I Am Battle Comic. Don also stars in Finding The Funny with Brad Garret and Louie Anderson and has been seen on MTV, Comedy Central, NBC, and FOX. He is a Bob and Tom Show favorite and can be heard regularly on Sirius/XM. Barnhart has written several books, produced, and directed TV and film projects and is an executive producer and appears in the new Matt Rife Film, “Don’t Suck”.
Sarah J. Halstead is an actor and comedian. Native of Flint, Michigan, Sarah moved to New York shortly after high school, landing plum roles in theatre productions and network
daytime dramas. She's appeared in over 90 commercials, along with a slew of guest-star roles in both film and television. Sarah's comedy special RVs and Cats is available on Amazon Prime and her comedy album is available on Apple Music, Spotify and iTunes. She performs regularly at Los Angeles' Laugh Factory, The Comedy Store, Hollywood Improv, and Flappers Comedy Club.
