Something Different Presents: Unpopular Opinions Night

The Regent Theater is a beautifully restored landmark in Downtown Los Angeles’ Historic Core, originally opening in 1914. As the oldest remaining theater on South Main Street, the venue preserves its vintage grandeur through a striking proscenium archway, a gothic-inspired ceiling, and its original sloped floor. Following a restoration in 2014, the space transitioned from a historic movie palace into a premier performance hall that blends early 20th-century elegance with a modern, intimate energy. The theater has established itself as a cornerstone of the LA comedy scene, serving as a key venue for the Netflix Is A Joke Festival and the annual "50 First Jokes" showcase. Its stage has hosted an impressive roster of talent, including Reggie Watts, Atsuko Okatsuka, Beth Stelling, and Eddie Pepitone. Located in the vibrant Bank District, The Regent offers comedy fans a unique opportunity to see top-tier performers in a setting that feels both historic and alive.
