Popovich Comedy Pet Theater

The beloved family show returns to the Lied Center

Sunday • April 25, 2027 • 7:00 pm
Main Auditorium

For more than two decades, he has headlined at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas—and now the internationally acclaimed Popovich Comedy Pet Theater brings a thrill-packed fusion of old-world cirque artistry, world-class juggling, heartfelt storytelling and over 30 rescued pets who shine as true superstars, all led by the legendary Gregory Popovich.

A global talent, Popovich is an America’s Got Talent finalist, international award winner, Gold Medal Champion of Paris, Special Award Honoree in Monte Carlo and two-time “Best Juggler in the World” recognized by the International Jugglers’ Association.

Recently featured on the cover of Las Vegas Magazine as “family-friendly fun at its best,” Popovich continues to inspire audiences with his mission-driven artistry. Every animal in the show was lovingly rescued and trained with patience, trust and compassion—transforming once-forgotten pets into confident, joyful performers who now touch hearts worldwide. The show is a breathtaking celebration of second chances, vaudeville and heart-warming theatre.
