PhotoDump RoundUp Week Ending 8/23/25

The 'Vegas Unfiltered' lens takes you to a haunted brunch, a spectacular concert, and a comedy club opening in this edition of PhotoDump RoundUp.

Elisa Fiorillo & Philip Fortenberry - THE CLASSICS WITH CLASS

In last week's edition of PhotoDump RoundUp, we took you to Keith Thompson's THE COMPOSERS SHOWCASE. That's where Elisa Fiorillo touted her upcoming THE CLASSICS WITH CLASS featuring musical director Philip Fortenberry on piano. Now that we've attended the wonderful concert, we can share pics and clips.

THE CLASSICS WITH CLASS covered lots of musical territory, including Judy Garland, Julie Andrews, Barbra Streisand, and the often-overlooked Marnie Nixon. Mr. Fortenberry delivered a loving tribute to Elisa's father, Alexander Fiorillo.

Thirteen-year-old Samantha Macabbabad, one of the star's vocal students, stunned the audience with a solo performance. The show closed with a collaboration featuring Fiorillo's husband, Carlos Elorza. [embed]https://youtu.be/4QVuHugTtHw[/embed] [embed]https://youtu.be/gR4xzoByl_E[/embed]

DELIRIOUS COMEDY CLUB and HOUSE OF MAGIC at Silver 7's Casino

Proving that you can never have too much laughter, funnyman Don Barnhart is at it again. The never-say-die entrepreneur/comedian/humanitarian, whose health journey we covered here, has plenty of reasons to celebrate this year. The latest is a second location for HOUSE OF MAGIC/DELIRIOUS COMEDY CLUB.

The new club is located at Silver 7's Casino Hotel at the corner of Flamingo Avenue and Paradise Road. It comes on the heels of Don's success with the originals at Hennessy's Pub on Fremont Street. We were there for the grand opening on Friday, August 22nd:

Come join the fun and "Unleash The Laughter!" with me, Don Barnhart, along with Ryan Cole, Guy Fessenden, Ron Coleman, and Erin O'Connor at Delirious Comedy Club - Off Strip Location inside The Silver Sevens Hotel & Casino.

"Known for unbeatable food and drink deals, friendly vibes, and now gut-busting comedy, Silver Sevens is the perfect home for our newest stage. Whether you’re a local looking for your next go-to night out or a visitor craving a true Vegas experience without the sky-high prices, Delirious is where the funny happens." - Don Barnhart
