Indianapolis Events: Concerts, Theatre & Comedy
Live events, concerts, sports, theatre and unforgettable tours — handpicked, city by city.
Indianapolis' calendar leans toward music, with our listings tracking 580 concerts against 292 theatre performances, backed by one of the country's few full-time dinner theatres.
Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, which has staged dinner-and-a-show productions since the 1970s, is the busiest venue in our data. Helium Comedy Club covers stand-up, while the historic Murat Theatre at Old National Centre hosts the city's biggest touring concerts. Clowes Memorial Hall and Gainbridge Fieldhouse round out the calendar with classical programming and major arena shows.
A full-time dinner theatre outdrawing every concert venue in the city is a genuine rarity — Indianapolis holds onto a format most cities dropped decades ago.
