Renowned comic Jason Alexander of the hit comedy sitcom “Seinfeld,” performs his uproarious show “The Donny Clay Experience” at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino beginning February 11.

Actor, Director and Producer Jason Alexander, star of the Broadway stage, motion pictures and most notably the award-winning actor who played “George Costanza” on “Seinfeld,” now portrays the character “Donny Clay,” the world’s fourth-best motivational speaker. “Donny Clay’s” world famous seminars entail hilarious evenings full of comedy, music, self-help and partial nudity all combined to leave you laughing as you discover the YOU inside of you.

“We are thrilled to have Jason, a true star of the stage, TV and film, perform this show here at Planet Hollywood,” said Co-CEO of BASE Entertainment, Scott Zeiger. “His talent is unparalleled and we’re pleased to have the opportunity to bring him to Las Vegas.”

The show is an interactive, partially improvised comedy romp where the audience is part of the show. Alexander, a Tony Award-winner for Best Actor in a Musical, employs song, video and comical moments that will inspire everyone into having a truly unforgettable evening. A mix of comedy, theater and some unintentionally life-enhancing thinking, Donny Clay will have you rolling in the aisles and jumping to your feet.

“I’m a huge fan of Jason’s long list of credits so you can certainly count on seeing me at the theater nightly,” said Robert Earl, co-chairman of Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

“I am so thrilled to be able to bring Donny Clay to the Las Vegas audience and I couldn’t be more grateful or delighted to be in such capable and experienced hands as I am with Scott Zeiger, BASE Entertainment and the Planet Hollywood property,” said Alexander. “I’ve had a blast touring around with the Donny Clay character and I think the Las Vegas audience is in for a unique, fun, funny experience.”

A comedy favorite, Alexander performs his limited engagement for a series of dates through March 2010: February 11-14, February 25-28, March 4-7 and March 11-14. All shows start at 7:00 p.m.

The bakery brings in customers from across the valley and caters to a growing list of celebrity clientele that include Cher, ‘NSYNC member Joey Fatone, rocker Vince Neil and Britney Spears.

For the first time since her “America’s Got Talent” debut, fans have the opportunity to catch Grandma Lee in a headlining role, uncensored and uncut, at Bonkerz Comedy Club Jan. 7 through Jan. 9. Audience members also have the chance to be a part of Lee’s new DVD, “Grandma Lee Unleashed,” which is filming during all five of her shows at Bonkerz.

Most recently, Lee won the hearts of millions and made it all the way to the grand finale on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” making it her personal goal to help older people realize it’s never too late to follow your dreams and laugh. She also just finished appearing in “America’s Got Talent Live” hosted by Jerry Springer at Planet Hollywood. The sassy senior won the 2003 Las Vegas Comedy Festival at the MGM Grand and was chosen as a finalist for the 2004 season of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.” In fact, she is so popular with TV audiences that “Last Comic Standing” had her on as a special guest during three different seasons and chose her as a Top 10 Favorite Comic on the show.

The Oklahoma native was ironically inspired to take up comedy after the death of her husband and a series of odd jobs such as news reporter and directory assistance operator. In 1995, Lee lost her husband of 37 years to cancer and decided to attend a local comedy workshop to get her laughing again. Since then, this outrageous 75-year-old grandmother has electrified audiences all over the country with her off-color humor and spunk. Lee asserts that 99 percent of her humor is true, but frequently refers to a fictitious ex-husband, Duane, and a story involving David Hasselholf and thong underwear.

“Bonkerz has been working with Grandma Lee for many years and we’re so excited to give ‘America’s Got Talent’ fans this rare experience in such an intimate venue,” said Joe Sanfelippo, owner of Bonkerz Comedy Club.
