"Another performer who has caught fire since opening last year at The Venetian is Wayne Brady and his "Making It Up" show. The initial limited engagement was extended once and now has been extended again through July of 2009. He deserves it because he delivers.

He says he "couldn't be happier being in Las Vegas doing what I do best, entertaining audiences. I am trying to bring old school showbiz back -- singing, dancing and improv, the way Sammy Davis, Jr. did back in the day. Old school with a new school twist." Not only does he create a different show each night with improv partner Jonathan Mangum, he constantly adds new elements to the line-up, making each show an original. Working with his four-piece band and a chorus of talented dancers and singers, he recently added new production numbers including a tribute to Sam Cooke. Brady has his hands full these days as he fills the role of host on FOX's hit game show "Don't Forget the Lyrics!"
