Laugh Out Loud: Comedy Night at Rain Rock!

Get ready for an unforgettable evening of side-splitting laughter at Rain Rock Casino Resort Hotel! Join us for Laugh Out Loud: Comedy Night featuring two comedy heavyweights — E.L. Smith and Tony Vinh — guaranteed to leave you grinning from ear to ear.


Tony Vinh

Tony is often described by fellow comedians as the Asian Chris Rock. They even call him "Chris Wok." And it's not because his delivery can sometimes sound like the legendary comedian, but because Tony's comedy offers a similarly sharp, clever and absurd commentary on life– only from the point of view of an Asian-American who grew up in the Midwest. Today, Tony does stand-up all over the US, performing at iconic comedy clubs such as The Comedy Store, The Hollywood Improv and The Ice House Pasadena. He has also performed internationally in England, Ireland and Canada. And he's been a crowd favorite at the Funniest Person In Austin contest, Out of Bounds Comedy Festival and the The Detroit Comedy Festival. In addition to being on stage, Tony is finishing up his first short film he wrote and directed, and he's working on a one-man performance titled, No Subtitles Needed. Tony was born and raised in Kansas City, and has also lived in Detroit and Austin. He currently resides in Los Angeles. .


E.L. Smith

E.L. Smith is a grade A comedian, and writer. You can hear E.L. Smith on XM satellite radio or see him on Hulu, MTV, Netflix, Dry Bar and Amazon Prime. E.L Smith approaches the mic with a fearless fun attitude that will leave audiences wanting more. He has performed on stages from Chocolate Sundaes at The World Famous Laugh Factory in Los Angeles to Cruise Ships in Alaska. He was the Laugh Factory’s 2018 fresh face winner, and a top ten nationwide finalist for NBC clean comedy search. His confidence onstage helps him ease his way through a number of diverse topics, and for this reason E.L has been a finalist and winner in many comedy competitions. Recently E.L. can be seen on The Comedy Store documentary on Showtime.
