The Fillmore

The Fillmore is a legendary San Francisco landmark with a history dating back to 1912. Located in the Western Addition at the edge of the historic Fillmore District—once celebrated as the "Harlem of the West"—the venue became a global cultural epicenter under promoter Bill Graham in the 1960s. Today, it maintains its storied atmosphere, greeting guests with its famous Poster Room where the walls are covered in a chronology of framed art and memorabilia from decades of iconic performances. While renowned for its musical heritage, The Fillmore is a premier destination for live comedy, regularly hosting national headliners and special stand-up tapings. The venue provides an intimate experience for major touring acts seeking a room with deep artistic roots. Notable comedians who have graced its stage include Dave Chappelle, who performed his "Controlled Danger" show here, as well as Amy Schumer, Kyle Kinane, and Kristen Schaal.
