DAVENPORT, IOWA (February 9, 2023) — We are happy to announce that Comedian Josh Blue will be performing in Rhythm City Casino’s Rhythm Room on Thursday, June 15, for two shows at 6:30PM and 9PM.

After his groundbreaking win on Last Comic Standing in 2006, Josh Blue has risen through the ranks to become a well-established headliner at venues throughout the world. Josh does over 200 shows a year, continuing to spread laughter and break down stereotypes of people with disabilities. His stand-up routine is in a constant state of evolution and his off-the-cuff improvisational skills guarantee that no two shows are alike.

In addition, we would like to announce that Songwriter and Comedian Heywood Banks will be performing in Rhythm City Casino’s Rhythm Room on Thursday, October 12 at 7 PM! You must be 21+ to attend this performance, as the Rhythm Room is located on the Casino Floor. Tickets will be available for general admission online at rhythmcitycasino.com or at The Market at Rhythm City for $25. A presale for this performance will take place on Thursday, February 9 at 10 AM, after which tickets will go on sale at 10 AM on Friday, February 10.

Heywood Banks is simply one-of-a-kind, almost impossible to describe, with a style his very own. Equal parts genius and buffoon, this songwriter-comic-singer-poet-musician has become a cult hero and a pop icon, with a show that appeals to college students, stoners, businessmen, yuppies, rednecks, punks, kids or your grandmother. Heywood intersperses his humorous observations of life with twisted, inventive, bizarre songs, sung and played in a variety of styles, from folk, to country to rock to pop, and way beyond. Heywood has been featured in “Rolling Stone Magazine” and “People Magazine.” He won First Place in the Johnnie Walker Comedy Search Contest.
