Diaz Mackie releases his First stand-up comedy album "#ThatSh*tCrazy!" out now

by Miss Frankie Tease
Diaz Mackie is a professional comedy host and traditional raw observational style stand-up comedian, and it looks like he's just hitting a new career stride after celebrating his 34th birthday (January 30th 2012). A Detroit, Michigan transplant, Mackie has spent seven years as a resident of Las Vegas, almost six of them as a comedian. He's a local favorite, and you probably know him by his weekly raunchy stand-up appearances at 'Comics Under the Influence' (Black Door, Bikini Bar). Other projects he's done include 'Smooth Vegas Nights', 'Who's Got Jokes?' (Season Five, TV), and he is currently at two prominent Strip Vegas clubs including L.A. Comedy Club (Planet Hollywood) frequently, and King's Comedy Club (Rio) twice weekly. 

Introducing heavyweight comedians from Comedy Central, HBO, and Showtime is what he does several times a week, entering his second year as a nationally touring comedian. He'll be staying busy with new and return visits to Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Oregon, Pennsylvania, New York, Texas, Washington state, and Wisconsin in 2012.

When asked what comedians top his list, Mackie stated "Some of my favorites include Dave Chappel, Eddie Murphy, Bill Cosby, Ron White, Lewis Black, Robin Williams, Louis C.K., Shang Forbes, Tom Rhodes, Peter Berman, and Daryl Wright". 

Mackie's humor includes self-deprecating humor about his lisp stating that it is "a 'handicap' after all". He combines hilarious racial, sexual, topical, news, and political jokes, and isn't afraid to perform clean or raunchy dirty. The CD includes some of the bad decisions he's made, and how changes in technology are effecting society. Mackie's first CD "#ThatSh*tCrazy!" is available now at any of his show appearances and reportedly at DiazMackie.com coming in the near future. 

Diaz Mackie  "#ThatSh*tCrazy!"  (CD) out Feb. 2012, $10, DiazMackie.com King's Comedy Club (Rio) 7-8pm Friday and Saturday

Old and New Vegas Vibe, Unscripted, Uncensored - Sapphire Comedy Hour Has it All

Video of Mon Dre performing at  Sapphire Comedy Hour by Frankie Tease. I finally found a show as raunchy and classy as I like it, and it's at the world's largest strip club, Sapphire Las Vegas. The club is well-known in town, for topless entertainment and great bottle and V.I.P. service. It also just opened a topless (pastied) pool and dayclub which is very fun. But even more new, they have been rolling out a show in the state-of-the art (wicked comfortable) Sapphire Showroom a few feet from the main entrance. I attended the Media Night for Sapphire Comedy Hour , hosted by the Producer/Director of the show Brett Feinstein (son of the owner). Feinstein's associates are Decade-Long Las Vegan, Douglas “Lefty” Leferovich    who is creative director, magic consultant, and featured entertainer, while Philip Peredo, head of Tickle Me Entertainment, books the majority of the comedians and brings up the third slot in this pyramid of power. Peredo, Feinstein, Le...

24 hr.Vegas Strip Club Opens Day Club "Sapphire Pool", Cinco De Mayo Wknd. 2013

The largest topless strip club in the world just got larger, and it decided to go outside to expand. The club was 70,000 feet before and boasts topless dancers, and an all male review for the ladies in a separate showroom. It even has a comedy and variety show. Several stages, 400 entertainers and open 24 hours, many could ask how that could be improved. Enter the great outdoors. The $8 million day club is pretty swanky. The cabanas are lush and plenty. Comfort? Yes. Completely separate but visible VIP? Yes. On-site grill, tons of shower fountains and also lovely water falls mixed with a full bar and amazing service will obviously be one of the hottest new and lasting clubs in Las Vegas. The 800 capacity pool area will be a go-to spot, especially after the launch they have planned. What sets it apart? Dancers are not necessarily doing lap dances, but they will be making new friends and lounging at the pool in their off times says Shai Cohen one of the organ...

Sapphire Comedy Hour - Surprise: A Strip Club with Good Entertainment

I was invited by the headliner to interview him at a new to me comedy show in Vegas. I understood this, it was a comedy show at a strip club. Being an ex-stripper, I liked the idea right away. Little did I know it was star-studded with variety acts and comedians. Awesome. I walked through the strip club. Not just any, it's the largest strip club in the world which also features male strippers. Topless dancers were working to my left as I was escorted by the concierge to the showroom separate from the main floor. The showroom was huge. This is the room that houses the male review at 10pm, but preceding it was the comedy show which is a weekly Friday 8:00pm show.  A local comedian Ricky Byrne (Host of Mood Comedy Dinner Show at the Artisan Hotel Las Vegas) was the feature of the show and started things off with some urban humor. I guessed he was Puerto Rican, and definitely too good looking to be a comedian, yet also funny. He gave way to variety act Set...
