Actor, comedian, writer, producer and America’s Got Talent host Nick Cannon performed his standup at The Playboy Comedy Club in The Lounge at the Palms last night, with the sold-out crowd especially enjoying his take on being married to Mariah Carey and celebrating their second anniversary.

Cannon landed his first comedy gigs in Hollywood at age 15, performing at venues including The Laugh Factory, and his first TV job was with Nickelodeon’s All That. He started as a standup to warm up the audience and was eventually hired to act and became the youngest staff writer in TV history at 17.

His TV and film credits include The Nick Cannon Show, Nick Cannon Presents Wild N Out, Men in Black 2, Drumline and Bobby. Cannon also owns his own multimedia company NCredible Entertainment and is chairman of TeenNick, Nickelodeon’s new network for teens.

Cannon is onstage at the Palms through tomorrow. Thanks to contributing photographers Scott Harrison and Erik Kabik for their images for the Vegas DeLuxe photo gallery. Will Carey show up in the audience to support her significant other?

And thanks to loyal Vegas DeLuxe reader Richard Corey for posting his video on YouTube.
