Frank Caliendo is coming home. OK, maybe the comedian and impressionist doesn’t actually call Las Vegas home, but from 2009 to 2011, he was a resident performer in town, regularly enticing audiences with his spot-on impressions of everyone from William Shatner to Charles Barkley.
Since leaving his standing Vegas gig, Caliendo has spent time touring the country, in addition to guest-starring on TV shows like Hot in Cleveland and Sullivan & Son. He isn’t back in Vegas for good, but for a couple of days it’ll be just like old times, with Caliendo onstage breaking out any number of the more than 120 impressions he’s perfected throughout his career.
Although Caliendo does impressions of a whole range of famous people, he’s especially adept at imitating sports figures, which has allowed him the chance to appear as a commentator on NFL broadcasts and on ESPN, which recently aired a special celebrating Caliendo’s best sports-related comedy.
The Orleans, 8 p.m. Oct. 17-18, starting at $34.95 plus tax and fee. 702.365.7075
