About me

Who do you know that was a winner on “America’s Funniest People”;  toured with Wayne Newton and Engelbert Humperdinck; was a co-host of the television show “Vegas Live” with Clint Holmes and Sheena Easton, and is Entertainment Director (and headliner) of Las Vegas prestigious Stirling Club?

Kelly Clinton, of course! 

But that’s only part of what this multi-talented singer-dancer and comedienne is involved in. While still a student in Las Vegas, Kelly starred in numerous plays and musical showcases. She then parlayed her reputation as “class clown” into positions with several popular lounge acts. She even fronted her own group “The Purple Gang”.

It was just a matter of time before "Mr Las Vegas" Wayne Newton spotted her zany antics and included her in his tribute to Elvis at the Las Vegas Hilton and in numerous television appearances.

A successful tour with Engelbert Humperdinck followed before she returned to Las Vegas. Kelly was the perfect foil with her spot on “Vegas Live”, and as a host of the city’s original celebrity karaoke night at the Bootlegger Bistro.

Kelly is also a master impressionist, recently performing her impersonations in a show at Harrah’s Hotel, as well as during her numerous singing engagements. This gal is a great singer and dancer and is a MUST see.

Kelly has also embarked on a recording career, and is best known for the cleverly written and original composition “PMS Blues”.

Meet Kelly at the Bootlegger Bistro, Las Vegas every Monday night where she hosts 'Celebrity Karaoke and where you can catch a rising star, guest celebrities and professional singers from many show in town.
