Bassem Youssef: The Belly of the Beast Tour

Located in the heart of San Diego’s historic Gaslamp Quarter, the Balboa Theatre is a meticulously restored 1924 vaudeville and movie palace. This National Register of Historic Places landmark features a striking tiled dome and ornate plaster fretwork, offering an atmosphere of vintage elegance. Its central downtown location places it steps away from the neighborhood’s vibrant energy, making it a premier destination for fans seeking a sophisticated yet intimate night out. The theatre is renowned for its exceptional acoustics, which perfectly suit its diverse calendar of live concerts and premier stand-up comedy. It has become a favorite stop for national touring acts, hosting acclaimed comedians such as Nate Bargatze, Iliza Shlesinger, Fortune Feimster, and Vir Das. Whether you are attending a high-profile tour or a unique event like a silent movie screening accompanied by the historic Wonder Morton pipe organ, the venue provides a warm, professional setting for world-class entertainment.
