The Improv at Harrah’s celebrated its 15th anniversary yesterday with a comedy star-studded celebration full of laughs for a great audience. To commemorate and thank the employees of Harrah’s and Improv fans for an amazing 15 years, Improv founder Budd Friedman and a few funny guests including Vinnie Favorito, Rondell Sheridan and Charlie Fleischer hosted a free performance on the legendary Improv stage yesterday afternoon.

Highlights from the show included a surprise anniversary cake from the comedians to Budd and a proclamation from Mayor Oscar Goodman naming April 30 as The Improv at Harrah’s Las Vegas Day presented by Harrah’s Las Vegas President Rick Mazer. The Improv continues to be the place where many of today’s comedy stars were born and continue to shine.

Our contributing photographer Scott Harrison was at Harrah’s for the comedy celebration, and Christopher Rauschnot @24kMedia on Twitter on Twitter posted his videos on YouTube.

Congratulations to The Improv at Harrah’s on 15 years!
