The Riviera Hotel & Casino welcomes 40 Is Not the New 20 to the award-winning Riviera Comedy Club beginning August 25. A one-man production starring veteran comedian Matt Kazam, 40 Is Not the New 20 is a comedic celebration of the knowledge and experience that can only be gained with age.

“Matt Kazam is an unbelievable talent and one of America’s most accomplished touring comedians,” said Alex Rangel, Riviera Hotel & Casino’s Vice President of Marketing and Entertainment. “He’s been performing at Riviera Hotel & Casino for quite some time and we’re thrilled to welcome him to the property on a permanent basis.”

“I am so excited to be bringing my show to the Riviera,” said comedian Matt Kazam. “To think of the entertainment legends that have performed at this property is amazing. When I was 10 years old my parents brought me to the Riviera to see Joan Rivers and Shecky Greene perform. I knew then, that I wanted to be a comedian and now I will be performing here six nights a week."

Starring 25-year comedy veteran Matt Kazam in a 70 minute one-man stand-up comedy production, 40 Is Not The New 20 explores how much the world has changed in the past 40 plus years—the boom box, “Pac Man,” the Rubik’s Cube and when there were only three stations on television. The looks at topics such as technology, the media, politics, relationships, our priorities and even how our bodies have changed over the years.  Everyday topics like marriage, parenting, work, commuting, bills and exercise, just to name a few, will be compared and contrasted though the eyes of a 40 year old.

40 Is Not the New 20 will be performed inside the Riviera Comedy Club at Riviera Hotel Casino Monday through Saturday.
