Named "America's Funniest Comedy Hypnotist" by Hypnosis Monthly Magazine, The Don Barnhart Comedy Hypnosis Show is a favorite at the top comedy clubs, colleges and cruise ships across the country.

You may not know him by name but you'll recognize his face as you've seen him on TV and film. He's been seen, heard and featured on: MTV, Good Morning Northwest, Comedy Central, ABC, CBS, FOX NBC, The Bob & Tom Show, XM/Sirius Satellite Radio and more.

In 2010, Don Barnhart received the "Bob Hope Comedy Award" for his continued service entertaining the troops stationed overseas and he won the 2007 Grand Prize in The American Idol Underground Comedy Contest.

Las Vegas View Magazine said, "While most hypnosis shows take the angle of embarrassing and shocking antics, Barnhart's show is both entertaining and empowering". Don commented, "Under hypnosis, I tap into the audience volunteers creative subconscious releasing their hidden talents to become the stars of the show."

The LVRJ lists Barnhart's show as one of their "Best Bets", The NY Times calls him, "Hilarious", The LA Times says, "One of the best" and Howard Stern said, "This guy's funny!" He was nominated 3 years in a row as "Best Comedian and Comedy Hypnosis Show" by LV Weekly's Reader's Poll

Barnhart has been performing and producing comedy shows for the troops around the world since his first USO tour back in 1992. He's been everywhere from Bosnia to Afghanistan. "When you reach a certain level of success, if you don't share it, then it dies with you," says Barnhart. "I think we all have a duty to give back. I'm blessed to be able to make a living doing what I love and I consider both an honor and a privilege to entertain our men and women serving in the military. I'm kinda like the water boy on the Super Bowl team".

Barnhart got his start in comedy as house emcee, manager and talent coordinator at The Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, CA. It was during the comedy boom of the 80's that Barnhart opened for, learned from, worked with and forged friendships with today's comedy legends: Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Brad Garrett, Jim Carey, Louis Black, Drew Carey, Tim Allen, Harry Anderson, Tom Hanks, George Wallace, Louie Anderson, David Spade, Dana Carvey, Dennis Miller and more.

Leno's advice to Barnhart, "You wanna be great? Go on the road". And Don did. He left the security and lucrative job to pursue comedy full time and since 1987, Don averages 250 days year on the road and he's never looked back.

Barnhart just finished headlining the 1 Year Anniversary of The Brad Garrett Comedy Club in Las Vegas and as Brad brought Don up to close the show, he commented, "Don is one of the funniest cats out there and I'm proud of him".

As if this were not enough to keep Barnhart busy, Don is also an accomplished filmmaker, television producer, published author and director. The Freedom of Speech Comedy Series, which Don produced, hosted and directed aired on cable and is now available on Amazon along with his 2 CD's and comedy DVDS. Don's company also produced the Ice House Comedy Club's 50 Anniversary Special.

Don Barnhart was selected to showcase and present his show at The Montreal Comedy Festival in 2008 and that same year Don released China Dolls, his first feature film that he wrote, directed and starred in. The indie action thriller helped Barnhart to increase his ever growing fan base and the film got great audience reviews. Don used the power of social networking and huge web presence on Facebook and Twitter to self-distribute the project and to build its core audience.

Barnhart just finished the script for the comedy film, Freeloader and is currently in pre-production on the project. "It's the story of a returning Vet who ends up homeless in Las Vegas and uses comedy to find his way back. I always try to use comedy as a way to shine light on current social issues and this is a sort of a modern day Robin Hood Story", added Don. The film is already in pre-production and will begin filming later this year with Barnhart directing and starring in the comedy.

Don Barnhart is also a published author with numerous articles on comedy as well as a contributing writer on the book: I Killed: True Stories of the Road from America's Top Comedians. He and his producing partner and wife Linda Vu continue to produce comedy shows for the troops around the world.

When Barnhart isn't making them laugh onstage, teaches the art of stand up and improvisation sharing his vast knowledge of the comedy business helping craft the next generation of young comedians.
