The stand-up comedian will perform at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Friday, Jan. 13.
As a young comedian looking to find his footing in the comedy world, he wanted to emulate Gallagher’s routine while also adding some of his own flair. One of the first props Thompson remembers bringing on stage involved a stolen neighborhood watch sign with a punchline that criticized the neighborhood watch for being unable to stop him from taking it.
Although Thompson succeeded in his comedy routine performances at his college campus, he found himself in a different world performing at the comedy clubs. In college, the age demographic was fixed, making it easier to gear jokes to the audience, but at comedy clubs, the audience was more diverse. Thompson didn’t find success right away but, like many dream chasers, he decided to dedicate himself to pursuing comedy full-time by quitting all of his other jobs and obligations. Despite his best efforts, booking consistent shows became an issue, ultimately forcing him to take a break.
“I was so nervous because I hadn’t done a show in a year, but I took the gig, and from that day on, it’s been nonstop,” Thompson said.The stand-up comic got his first residency at the MGM Grand and later a residency at Luxor Hotel & Casino, which he’s maintained since 2005, allowing him to become increasingly associated with Sin City’s entertainment industry.
