Comedian David Spade will be performing his stand-up act LIVE at the Venetian for select dates in January and February 2010. His sarcasm and quick wit are an audience favorite as he was loved for years performing in sketch comedy on Saturday Night Live. David Spade is also a celebrated film star. His film credits include “Tommy Boy” and “Joe Dirt.”

Spade appears on stage wearing comfortable clothing, usually just jeans and a baseball hat. This informal style makes the audience feel at home and doesn’t intimidate like some of the bigger name headliners in town. Spade starred on Saturday Night Live from 1990 to 1996, during this time he became close friends with co-star Chris Farley. He and Farley performed together in movies such as Tommy Boy and Black Sheep.  Shortly after, Spade soon took a role on the hit sitcom Just Shoot Me! which ran for seven seasons and won David Spade several Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominations.

He is most famous for the sarcastic characters that he plays. On Saturday Night Live his most famous roles included an airline stewardess who only said “buh-bye” as people were leaving and annoyingly would not answer any of their questions. He also was famous for playing Dick Clark’s receptionist who would ask extremely recognizable people, “And you are?” His stand-up act also follows suit with these characters. Spade uses mostly real life situations that have actually happened to him and just adds to them making them extremely funny and sarcastic. His show also pokes fun at many Vegas stereotypes that the audience is sure to enjoy.
