The Marines' Memorial Theatre is a historic landmark located in the heart of San Francisco’s theater district, nestled between Union Square and Nob Hill. Originally built in 1926 and established as a living memorial to the U.S. Marine Corps in 1946, this "jewel box" venue offers an intimate and elegant atmosphere. Recently renovated to enhance audience comfort, the theater blends Beaux-Arts architectural charm with a professional setting, making it a sophisticated choice for live entertainment. As a premier destination for comedy, the theater serves as a key venue for the annual SF Sketchfest and hosts a variety of national touring acts and live podcasts. Its stage has a storied history of legendary performers, ranging from icons like Jack Benny and Bob Hope to modern stars such as Amy Schumer, Kevin Nealon, and Dylan Moran. With its excellent sightlines and warm acoustics, the room provides a personal experience that connects fans directly with world-class comedic talent.
