Kelly Clinton-Holmes was born in Palisades Park, New Jersey, but has resided in Las Vegas for nearly 40 years where she has been a vibrant part of the Las Vegas entertainment scene. One of her favorite performances is “Freckled for Life” which is a one women show employing her remarkable abilities as an actress, comedienne, singer and impressionist. “When Kelly does her impersonations, she weaves her own infectious personality into the characters, which then brings them to life in a wonderful new way. She takes her audience back and forth, up and down, through her journey from New Jersey to Las Vegas. Through it all you keep seeing the genius of Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett with purely Kelly Clinton charm.” She has performed this show to critical acclaim in Las Vegas and at both the popular Metropolitan Room and the venerable Cafe’ Carlyle in New York City.
Kelly’s television credits include “Vegas Live” alongside Sheena Easton and Clint Holmes. She was a winner on ABC’s “America’s Funniest People. She has worked with Wayne Newton and Engelbert Humperdinck with whom Kelly shared the stage in Las Vegas and all over the country. Her theater credits include Sister Mary Amnesia in the hit show “Nunsense,” as well as host of the long-running “Talktails” show on the Vegas Video Network. Her company, Kelly Clinton Productions, creates shows such as the long running hit “Shades of Sinatra” and also coordinates special events and promotes talent.
In 2011 and 2012 Broadwayworld.com nominated her as “Best Comedic Actress.” The Nevada Woman’s Chamber of Congress awarded her “Entertainer of the Year” in 2015. Kelly continues to work with the “Circle of Red” and The Arthritis Foundation as well as many other charitable organizations. One of her greatest passions is mentoring young entertainers.
