The Van Buren

Located in the heart of downtown Phoenix’s historic automotive district, The Van Buren is a premier destination for live entertainment housed in the 1929 Phoenix Motor Company building. Since opening in 2017, the venue has preserved its vintage charm, featuring original roof trusses, elegant chandeliers, and a gold-leafed proscenium arch. The room’s industrial-chic aesthetic and layout create an intimate yet high-energy atmosphere that has made it a staple for major touring acts in the Valley of the Sun. While widely known for music, The Van Buren has become a hub for nationally recognized comedians and popular live podcasts. The venue hosts a diverse range of performances, from stand-up headliners like Daniel Sloss to fan-favorite live shows such as Welcome to Night Vale and The Fantasy Footballers. With its state-of-the-art sound and lighting, it offers a sophisticated setting for comedy fans to catch top-tier talent in a historic Phoenix landmark.
