San Francisco Events: Concerts, Opera & Comedy

San Francisco's listings lean heavily toward music and comedy: close to 1,220 concerts and over 300 theatre and opera performances, with a genuinely deep comedy-club scene — three clubs sit in our top six venues alone.

The War Memorial Opera House, home to San Francisco Opera, and Davies Symphony Hall, home to the San Francisco Symphony, anchor the classical side just steps from each other in the Civic Center. On the comedy side, Punch Line San Francisco, Cobb's Comedy Club and The Function Comedy Club between them cover most nights of stand-up in the city, while the Orpheum Theatre handles touring Broadway.

Few cities pair a full-time opera house and symphony hall with this much working comedy — it's a genuinely split-personality entertainment scene.
