About Vicki  Barbolak  Comedy

Vicki Barbolak is lighting up the comedy scene with her weekly shows at Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club in Las Vegas, where her unique blend of trailer-park glam and unfiltered humor keeps audiences coming back. These performances are a highlight of her international tour, which has been selling out across the U.S. and beyond. Since her breakout on America’s Got Talent, Vicki has become a must-see act, especially in Vegas, where her relatable storytelling and larger-than-life stage presence are front and center.

​

Her journey to success is anything but typical. At 38, Vicki discovered stand-up comedy by chance after seeing an ad for a comedy class. At the time, she was working in her family’s carpet business, but the comedy bug bit her hard. After open mic nights and small gigs, she caught the attention of Mitzi Shore, owner of the legendary Comedy Store in Los Angeles. Mitzi mentored Vicki, predicting she would be the next breakout star from the club, a place that launched countless comedians.

​

Vicki’s comedy draws on her real-life experiences, including growing up in a family business with a former Pittsburgh Steeler dad, battling with ex-husbands, raising two kids, and living in a trailer park in San Diego. These stories shape her comedy persona, blending sass, self-deprecation, and heart. Her relatable, everyday-life humor made her a hit on America’s Got Talent in 2018, where she became a top 10 finalist. Judges like Howie Mandel and Simon Cowell praised her, with Simon calling her “the best comedian we’ve had on this show.” Since then, she has been featured on AGT Champions and Britain’s Got Talent Champions, skyrocketing her career.

​

Before AGT, Vicki had already been making waves, winning Nickelodeon’s America’s Funniest Mom and performing for Roseanne Barr in Las Vegas. She’s also earned titles like California’s Funniest Female and performed at major comedy festivals like the Russian River Gay Comedy Festival. Her talents have been spotlighted in Family Circle Magazine and the comedy anthology I Killed: True Road Stories from America’s Top Comics.

​

Vicki’s comedy style is energetic and down-to-earth, mixing life stories with humor about relationships, family, and everyday absurdities. Her raw, honest approach has earned her a loyal fanbase. Now, as a headliner at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club and a touring sensation, she continues to prove that it's never too late to pursue your passion. From trailer park queen to comedy star, Vicki Barbolak’s rise is a testament to resilience, humor, and chasing your dreams.
