Louie LOL at The Louie Anderson Theatre

Beloved comedian Louie Anderson has had decades to perfect his endearing and relatable family-friendly style of comedy, and after a long and magical career he’s decided to create a killer Las Vegas show in the all-new and aptly named Louis Anderson Theater at Palace Station. ”Louis LOL” runs five times a week and ups the ante for Vegas comedy clubs by showcasing additional talent from a formidable guest-list of truly funny people known the world over.

VIP tickets are always available, and include signed memorabilia, priority seating and an opportunity to meet and speak with the man who’s left a lasting legacy of belly laughs that’s destined only to grow with each family-friendly show he performs.

Corporate Entertainment Testimonial- Golf Course Rd. Church of Christ

“Dear Jeff,

Enthusiastic! Vibrant! Exuberant! Energetic! Hilarious! Entertaining!

Those are just some of the words that describe your show. When I decided to bring you in for a big church event I had no doubt that you would entertain and engage, but I had no idea of the “blow me away: factor you would bring. People were talking about your show for weeks, and actually made me look pretty good too, because everyone kept saying, “Where did you find that guy? He was great!”

Jeff, your family-filled show was so much more than we had hoped for. And the audience participation had everyone involved from kids to adults. This was literally a show for everyone!

It’s hard to find shows that are as high a quality as yours that are still family-friendly. Your show wildly exceeded that expectation! When I think about my list of people that I would bring back to our church you are at the top of the list.

Thanks for blowing us away!”

Kent Rogers

Worship Pastor

So much going on these days!! For more detailed updates including pics, vids, and articles, I encourage you to sign up for my blog– I’d love to have you!

1) “Life Choices: Pursuing Your Passion” is now available for purchase on my website store! Special thanks to speaker Judi Moreo who asked me to write the 1st chapter of this co-authored book. This is great step for me toward completing my own full book.

2) My Las Vegas Dinner Show – Along with making regular appeareances as a guest artist in Nathan Burton’s 4PM show at The Flamingo, I am now performing my own 7:30PM dinner show at Planet Hollywood Restaurant at Caesars Palace Forum Shops. I LOVE the intimacy of this room, and the flexible performance schedule still allows me to take my show on the road.. it’s perfect! From my review on About.com: “…you will get a clever performer who gives you high energy entertainment in a setting that allows you to be up close to all the action. Quick wit, fast hands and the ability to entertain the room is what the show is about. You’ll also get dinner included for $25. That is a deal that cannot be beat on the Las Vegas strip.”

3) Georgetown Webinar – In addition to being featured on Georgetown University’s alunni career spotlight, I recently gave a webinar for Alumni Career Services called Branding Your Passion. I’ve since been asked to give two more! The next one is called ”Pursuing the Entertainment World with a Georgetown Degree” and will be held on November 8th.

4) Win-Win Entertainment – My vision for a philanthropic entertainment network in Las Vegas and beyond is in motion! We now have 20+ performers and 6 non-profits signed up on our website and we’re growing every day. We have 3 events already on our calendar for later this year.

5) Corporate Shows– Lots of corproate shows the last few months: Florida Hospital in Orlando, Preferred Clinical Services in Orlando, Honeywell in Phoenix, InterContinental Hotel Group in Vegas, Marketing Revoution Services in Vegas, etc. Check out what past corporate clients are saying!

6) Fall College Tour – This year’s Fall college tour is lining up! This Fall is going to be jam-packed with orientation shows, homecomings, and family / sibling weekends.

About.com Reviews My Las Vegas Dinner Show

Check out the review of my dinner show on about.com!

“You want to be entertained, you need to eat and you always enjoy a good laugh. Jeff Civillico is juggling, he’s getting out of a straitjacket and he is performing in a quaint spot on the Las Vegas strip. “Comedy in Action” is happening at the Planet Hollywood Restaurant at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace.

Why You’ll Enjoy “Comedy in Action” With Jeff Civillico at Planet Hollywood Restaurant:

Try finding a decent show and a dinner for $25 on the Las Vegas strip and I’ll bet you that you’ll end up in front of the Bellagio with a sandwich and a spot for the free fountains. It is not easy to find. “Comedy in Action” is that show.

Before you race out to buy tickets you need to realize that you will not be getting Cirque Du Soleil but you will get a clever performer who gives you high energy entertainment in a setting that allows you to be up close to all the action. Quick wit, fast hands and the ability to entertain the room is what the show is about. You’ll also get dinner included for $25. That is a deal that cannot be beat on the Las Vegas strip.”
