What is it?
Stand-Up Nights at MBT are all about giving local comics, first-timers, and visiting pros a place to test material, make friends, and get real laughs from real people.
We host a weekly open mic, Kill Bomb, hosted by Phil Kotler, and rotating stand-up shows, featuring comics from all over Las Vegas—and sometimes even beyond.
Whether you’re trying comedy for the first time or you’ve got a tight 10 you’re ready to test, our mic is your stage.
Friendly crowd. Supportive hosts. A touch of chaos—just how Mom likes it.
Upcoming Stand Up SHows
Every month we feature a curated lineup of local comics and surprise guests, handpicked by our comedy team. Expect new jokes, wild characters, and the occasional set that makes Mom blush.
Chad Damiani is on a mission. Save comedy from cleverness. Or burn it all down.
Watch as he directs nine Vegas performers -- from new students to superstars from your favorite shows -- through a perilous modern clown show. Can these comics fully commit to nonsense and give the audience the show of their lives? Or will they crumble under the ruthless pressure of the one-and-only Clown Boss?
A glorious celebration of failure and the cruelest show in clown.

A special event designed for family and friends to cheer on our students as they take the stage and share their original stand-up sets!
Over the past two months, these performers have been writing, refining, and bravely testing their material — and now it’s showtime. Expect big laughs, bold voices, and the electric energy that only live comedy can bring.
Come support these rising comics as they step into the spotlight and deliver the tight five (or maybe a loose seven). It’s going to be a proud, joy-filled night you won’t want to miss!
