Comedian Don Barnhart Returns To Southern
California Filming Cannabis Comedy Reefer Rendum
During Stand Up Tour
(1888 PressRelease) Reefer Rendum, the new
cannabis comedy documentary by award winning
comedian Don Barnhart will be filming stand up
segments May 8th at The Surf City Comedy Club in
Huntington Beach, CA before Barnhart takes the
stage May 9th with his own stand up show.
Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA  - Comedian Don
Barnhart returns to Southern California to film
the final stand up comedy segments for his
cannabis based comedy documentary Reefer Rendum
at The Surf City Comedy Club in Huntington Beach,
CA. before taking over the club on May 9th with
his DeEvolution of Man Stand Up Comedy Tour.
Barnhart, who grew up in Southern California will
perform his stand up show May 9th at the Surf
City Comedy Club after filming segments for the
movie May 8th. Don, a native of Southern
California, got his start at the Comedy Magic
Club in Hermosa Beach where he was the house
emcee and talent coordinator for several years
working and learning from the best of the
best.  Seeing Don's gift and desire, Jay Leno
advised Don that if you want to be a comic,
you've got to take your act on the road and see
if it works everywhere. The next day, Barnhart
took Leno's advice and quit his job at the club
and hasn't looked back as Don averages over 280
days a year performing around the world and this
will be the first time in years that Barnhart
returns to perform in his home of Southern
California.

Barnhart's stand up show consists of well
written, thought provoking material, delivered
with an animated flair making him funny on so
many levels keeping audiences of all ages howling
with laughter and coming back for more. "He's an
intelligent comedian along the likes of George
Carlin", said one reviewer.  The Las Vegas
Review Journal named Don Barnhart's comedy show
one of their "Best Bets" and he was selected as
one of the featured headliners at the 2014
Laughlin Comedy Festival alongside Larry The
Cable Guy, Dana Carvey and Maryellen
Hooper.  Since his first USO tour back in 1992,
Barnhart has been performing and producing comedy
shows for the troops around the world bringing
both celebrities and the next generation of
comedy superstars to the men and women serving in
the armed forces and he just finished another
world tour. Don is the author of the new book on
stand up, Finding Your Funny as well as Creating
The Life You Desire and he's a contributing
author on I Killed True Stories From The Road by
America's Funniest Comedians. Barnhart is a
graduate of The Second City Conservatory in Los
Angeles and is a certified hypnotist performing
both a stand up and comedy hypnosis show.
Barnhart is also the founder of the Las Vegas
Comedy Institute and one of the most sought after
comedy coaches in the industry, teaching stand up
and improv at his Vegas based studio and around
the world.
Over the last year, stand up comedian Don
Barnhart's film career has been gaining steam as
he plays a rather disgruntled, fading road comic
in the upcoming comedy film, Tribute To Fluffy
directed by USC Alumni Micah Cyrus. Barnhart also
stars in the documentary, Finding The Funny with
Brad Garret, Louie Anderson and Wendy Liebman and
he's just finished writing the script for the
comedy Freeloader which he stars in and will
begin production later this year.

In 2014, Barnhart was the Grand Prize Winner in
the Talent Call Comedy Contest as well as the
Winner of the 2012 Improv/Levity Entertainment's
Talenthouse Comedy Competition. His Freedom of
Speech Comedy Series was selected to showcase for
the Montreal Comedy Festival and in 2007, Don was
the Grand Champion in The American Idol
Underground Comedy Contest. He has been seen on
MTV, Star Search, and Evening At The Improv and
featured on ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC. Barnhart is a
Bob and Tom Radio Show favorite and his comedy
CD, I'm Not Just Eye Candy can be heard
frequently on the comedy channels on XM/Sirius
Satellite Radio.  Barnhart's new Cannabis-Based
Comedy Documentary "Reefer Rendum" explores the
continuing legalization of marijuana in America
with candid and humorous interviews from all
points of view within the 420 communities
including Politicians, Lawmakers, Doctors, and
Comedians. Reefer Rendum will feature
professional working comedians doing their
funniest "420" themed material. Reefer Rendum
stars, and is written and directed by
award-winning comedian Don Barnhart. For the last
year, the Southern California native now living
in Las Vegas has tirelessly been shooting
interviews with experts and comedians across the
country and will stop at Huntington Beach's Surf
City Comedy Club to film a stand up comedy
portion of Reefer Rendum before returning to Las
Vegas to complete the project. "In order to get
a well rounded, unique and funny perspective,
Reefer Rendum showcases some of my favorite
comics as well as some fresh new faces not known
to the 420 community," said Barnhart in a recent
phone interview. "Of course, we'd love to get the
outspoken cannabis advocates like Bill Maher,
Cheech Chong, Seth Rogan, Seth McFarlane, Joe
Rogan and Doug Benson. Where also in talks to get
interviews with Dr. Drew and Dr. Sanjay Gupta
from CNN."
