The comedy scene in Memphis is making waves in Las Vegas this October, as two of the city’s top comics bring their unique brands of humor to one of the most iconic entertainment stages in the world.
Veteran comedian Rob Love and rising star Jae Henderson are both scheduled to perform in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, marking a major milestone in their careers.
Rob Love, a 13-year veteran of Memphis’s comedy scene, will be the featured act at the prestigious Drai’s Comedy Club from October 24th to 26th. Known for his sharp wit and commanding stage presence, Love has graced stages across the United States, performing alongside notable names like D.L. Hughley, Red Grant, and Melanie Comancho. His appearance at Drai’s highlights his steady rise from Memphis stages to some of the country’s most well-known comedy clubs.
“I’m excited and thankful. This opportunity has been brewing for a while and is finally coming to fruition,” Love said. “It’s a great thing when you get to use your gift to brighten the day of others. I appreciate Drai’s Comedy Club and everyone who made this possible.”
Meanwhile, newcomer Jae Henderson will make her debut at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club on October 25th and 26th. Known for her clean yet edgy humor, Henderson has quickly become a rising star, captivating audiences with her relatable takes on everyday life, relationships, and her experiences as a woman navigating midlife. Her upcoming performance on the Las Vegas Strip represents a significant leap in her budding career.
“I keep waiting for someone to pinch me and wake me up because this seems like a dream,” Henderson said. “I’m performing on the Las Vegas Strip at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club. I am thankful for this unexpected opportunity, and I plan to deliver some great laughs and make Memphis proud.”
Despite the bittersweet reality of losing two beloved comedy venues in Memphis—Chuckles Comedy House and The Comedy Junt—the city’s comedy community remains resilient. Comedians like Rob Love and Jae Henderson are proof that the Bluff City’s comedic talent is not only surviving but thriving, continuing to make waves across the nation.
