Tally Ho Theater

The Tally Ho Theater is a historic landmark in downtown Leesburg, Virginia, originally opening in 1931 as a premier movie house. For eight decades, the venue served as a cultural cornerstone, even hosting the 1931 premiere of Clark Gable’s first starring film, *Sporting Blood*. Its unique name, inspired by a traditional foxhunting cry, was selected through a community contest. In 2013, the theater transitioned into a performing arts center, blending its cinematic heritage with a focus on live entertainment. Today, the venue maintains its vintage charm with Art Deco styling and an intimate multi-level layout. Comedy fans can enjoy regular "Comedy Night in Leesburg" showcases, held in partnership with the renowned DC Improv. The stage has hosted notable performers such as Randy Syphax, who appeared on *The Tonight Show*, and Lafayette Wright of Comedy Central. With its authentic, old-school character, the Tally Ho offers a warm atmosphere for catching top-tier stand-up in a historic setting.
