Being a comic vocal impressionist takes a lot of practice – just ask Jason Neistadt from V-The Ultimate Variety Show! Having appeared at all the major Las Vegas resorts and casinos, Jason has honed his performance down to the T! Elvis, Forest Gump, and everyone else, you never know who might show up in this one-of-a-kind act. Born in Rancho Cucamonga, CA in 1976, Jason began to show early inclinations of a performer. When Jason was two years old he moved to Wyoming and over the years developed his interest in stunts and stunts while playing in the surrounding mountains. When he returned to California at age ten, Jason quickly became known as the class clown and soon after, he learned his first performing art, juggling! From there he committed himself to the art of juggling and sought to cheer up whoever he could, using his impersonations and juggling acts.
Jason set about honing his juggling skills and soon saw what his destiny would declare. On a family vacation in Las Vegas, he was taken to see “Melinda, the First Lady of Magic!” There he saw Anthony Gatto, the world’s greatest technical juggler and teacher, as part of Melinda’s variety act. As he says, he spent all his money at the magic shop the next day, intrigued by the mix of magic and juggling that he had never thought possible before. Soon after, Jason was perfecting and showing off his act at birthday parties and charity events. By the age of 13, his juggling skills had increased and he was soon accepted into the world famous “Magic Castle” in Hollywood. Focusing on the performing arts in high school, Jason took all the necessary steps to graduate early and, at age 16, saw himself moving straight to Hollywood.
He ended up graduating from the Magic Castle junior program, and even received a Juniors Achievement Award at a banquet held for graduates. In 1993 Jason performed at the opening night of the MGM Grand Casino, and he quickly realized that this was where he wanted to stay. Jason was always an artist first, and with that in mind, Las Vegas became his muse and playground for learning and experimenting. He eventually landed dream roles as a stuntman in two major movies, and he continued to live to learn new ways of acting to further his career. In 2003 Jason began working with David Saxe, the brother of one of his original inspirations, Melinda. Jason soon became David Saxe’s executive vice president of productions for almost seven years, until he decided that acting was his true passion. Now, with his own one-man show in the works, Jason has been a featured host on V-The Ultimate Variety Show many times. Often considered the best variety show in Las Vegas, V-The Ultimate Variety Show is not his only concert, as he travels the world performing on major cruise lines, Jasons returns to town showing audiences all his different faces each week.
