Combine the words “magician,” “audience participation” and “Las Vegas” in any sentence and you might expect the word “smarmy” to show up real soon. Luckily, that’s not the case with The Amazing Johnathan, comic and long-time Vegas headliner who explodes the conventions of Vegas cheese with comedy that’s abrasive, ridiculous and sometimes a little violent — but in a funny way. Johnathan Szeles walked away from his gig on the Vegas strip, fed up, he said, with lies and a lack of support from casinos. Now he’s back on the road, bringing his bleach-drinking, sarcastic and absurdist send-up of standard corny magic acts to the Addison Improv for five shows Friday through Sunday. Friday’s performances are at 8 and 10:30 p.m., and tickets are $25 to $35. The Improv is at 4980 Belt Line Road, No. 250. Call 972-404-8501 or visit improv.com for more show times and info.
