Los Angeles Events: Concerts, Theatre & Comedy

Los Angeles' events calendar is built around two things it does better than almost anywhere: live music and theatre. Our listings currently track over 2,100 concerts and close to 1,000 theatre productions across the city, with sports and comedy filling out the rest of a genuinely varied lineup.

The Hollywood Pantages Theatre is the busiest single venue in our data, regularly hosting touring Broadway productions in its historic Art Deco auditorium. Downtown, the Mark Taper Forum and Ahmanson Theatre — both part of the Music Center — carry much of the city's serious dramatic and new-work programming. On the music side, Blue Note Los Angeles brings the storied jazz-club name to a city better known for arena pop, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall, home to the LA Philharmonic, remains one of the most recognizable concert venues in the country thanks to Frank Gehry's stainless-steel design. For comedy, the Hollywood Improv keeps its reputation as a proving ground for stand-up, much like it has for decades.

It's a lineup that reflects the city's split identity: an industry town built around film and television talent, but also a serious, long-running home for orchestral music, jazz and stage drama that often gets overshadowed by the entertainment headlines.
