Las Vegas Comedian Don Barnhart Uses Humor To Heal Himself And Others

LAS VEGAS - Oct. 21, 2024 - PRLog -- For the last 6 months, Las Vegas comedian Don Barnhart had been sidelined from performing at his Las Vegas residency due to complications from kidney stone and prostate surgery.

It was cruel summer for the comedian as he spent his 20^th wedding anniversary, birthday and July 4^th holiday in the hospital. When asked how he felt about it, Barnhart joked, "I was able to avoid the crazy summer heat!" He emphasized that although he jokes around and uses humor to lighten the mood, it's important to take your health seriously.

Don added, "The Doctors blasted my kidney stones like they were playing Asteroids but some of the remnants clogged my 'Ureatha Franklin' and I wasn't able to go number one. When that happens, they have to install a 'Chris Foley Catheter' up your manhood and that's not as exciting as it might sound. The nurse brought in this 18-inch tube, and I told her thanks for the estimate but you've got the wrong room. Over the last six months I've had more people handle my junk than Charlie Sheen and P Diddy."

Don emphasized the importance of humor, "Things were pretty serious and the mood in my room felt heavy so I just tried to lighten the mood by joking around with the nurses and staff and keeping a positive attitude about the whole thing.  When people laugh and smile, they feel better about whatever it is they're doing and just seem to do a better job."

Once the kidneys stones we're handled Don underwent two prostate surgeries.  "Having your prostate probed isn't something most men like to chat about and it can be something most men will put up off till it's too late.  Sharing my experiences on both social media and onstage has opened up a tremendous dialogue and I've had a tremendous number of men reach that they're going through something similar and to reassure them that it's not as bad as they think.  By getting checked out early and taking care off any problems they can live a long, healthier life."
