Reported on CNN: 

MOST COMEDIANS JUST KILL:  DON BARNHART DELIVERS !!!

 

Award Winning Comedian Don Barnhart causes pregnant audience member to laugh so hard that her water breaks and she delivers a baby girl.

Eugene, Oregon September 10, 2008 - While performing at The Big Kahuna Comedy Club in Grants Pass Oregon on Friday August 29, 2008 award winning comedian Don Barnhart made Jacquee Arzadon laugh so hard that her water broke and she delivered a baby girl later that evening.

The new mother said, “It was probably the best comedy night we ever had and when I got up I realized my water broke.” Barnhart had just returned from being selected for the Comedy Festival in Montreal and was the Featured Comedian on MySpace, when he stopped into headline at The Big Kahuna Comedy Club in Grants Pass, OR.

Owner and Comedian Juan Kanopiii said to Jacquee, “We’re gonna make you have that baby” then Barnhart took the stage and knocked it out of the park for an hour and a half show and when all was said and done, Jacquee got up and realized that she had to go to the hospital to deliver her baby.

Barnhart added, “The extra press is a solid career booster and the power and exposure of the Internet is absolutely insane. It's amazing how many people are clicking into my website donbarnhart.com and now want to come see me live”.

With all of this recent exposure, it looks like Don is next in line to make the Vegas Strip home for his stand up comedy show alongside comedy legends; George Wallace, Louie Anderson, Roseanne Barr and Carrot Top. Barnhart added, "The road has been great and I love to perform but doing it every night here in Las Vegas is the dream come true”.

Barnhart combines physical characterizations with well written clever material that makes audiences of all ages howl with laughter and then keep coming back for more. You have to watch and listen at the same time or you'll miss half the show. Don literally has to stop and give the audience a break several times during his show to let the audience catch their breath. The show at the Big Kahuna is proof. Barnhart joked, “I’ve always tried to kill onstage but this is the first time I delivered”.
