For a mixed group, or anyone who winces at blue material, book Brian Regan at the Palazzo Theatre on Saturday November 14; he has worked clean for his entire career and still gets the biggest laughs in the building. For a crowd that wants sharp edges and live crowd work, book Brad Williams on the same stage one Saturday earlier, November 7. Two very different comics, one room, a week apart. Here's what each night is really like.
November 7: Brad Williams
Brad Williams is the one who goes after the audience, and the audience loves him for it. He was born with achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism, grew up in Orange County, California, and turned the way strangers treat him into material aimed straight back at them. Most people first saw him on Mind of Mencia in the mid-2000s. Since then there have been two Showtime hours, Fun Size and Daddy Issues, then Starfish in 2023 and Live on Short Street, which he released on his own YouTube channel this April. He's also spent more than a decade co-hosting the About Last Night podcast with Adam Ray. Front rows, be warned. That's where the best stuff happens.
When: Saturday November 7. Where: Palazzo Theatre, The Palazzo at The Venetian. Style: fearless, personal and quick with a heckler. Ages: sixteen and over.
November 14: Brian Regan
Brian Regan can make a room of eighteen hundred people lose it over the spelling of a word. His resume explains why that isn't luck: twenty-eight appearances on David Letterman's Late Show, the first live stand-up special Comedy Central ever broadcast, from Radio City Music Hall in 2015, and three Netflix projects, Nunchucks and Flamethrowers, Stand Up and Away! and On the Rocks. Vanity Fair has called him the funniest stand-up alive. Nothing in the act needs bleeping. The laughs come from his face and his timing, and those don't translate to a screen the way they land live. This is his second booking at the resort in 2026, after a July date.
When: Saturday November 14. Where: Palazzo Theatre, The Palazzo at The Venetian. Style: clean, physical, observational. Ages: sixteen and over.
When the answer flips
If your group is all adults who've watched Williams online and want to be in the room when he spots someone, his night wins easily. If you're sitting with a parent, a boss or a first date, Regan is the call; nothing he says will make anyone at the table look at the floor. Both are listed at sixteen and over, so a teenager can attend either, but Regan is the one to bring them to. And if you're in town for both Saturdays, do both: the room is identical and the nights have almost nothing in common.
One line to decide
Regan on November 14 for anyone who wants guaranteed, family-safe laughs from a comedian at the top of his trade, Williams on November 7 for anyone who wants to feel the room get dangerous. Both nights are Saturdays at the Palazzo, when the resort's restaurants fill fastest, so book dinner as early as the seats. The same stage has two more big comics in early December.
