After decades of toiling away on the Vegas strip, hustling for dollars and dimes, at last they've risen to the top like a dollop of cream. You can see them now performing nightly at the Nice Dice Casino on the Las Vegas strip, where they have a whopping ten-year residency!

Set five years into this decade-long residency, the Burton Brothers are here to entertain anyway that they can. With songs, gambling, magic and more, this sketch comedy show is the highest of stakes!

But this dream residency didn't come without a cost. After doing a devil's deal with the shady casino owner, the Brothers are in deep with the wrong crowd and now each show is a dice roll for life or death.

Vegas Residency is a fast-paced narrative sketch comedy show that journeys through this Scorsese-esque Casino. Think: over the top characters, big band jazz numbers and even a little bit of magic, inspired by Siegfried and Roy, of course. This Vegas Spectacular throws everything at the wall - will they sink or will they swim?
