Opened in 1926, Stambaugh Auditorium is a historic landmark located on Fifth Avenue in Youngstown, directly across from the scenic Wick Park. This Beaux Arts-style venue was established through the will of local businessman Henry H. Stambaugh and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The centerpiece of the facility is its grand Concert Hall, which is celebrated by performers and fans alike for its near-perfect acoustics and stunning Greco-Roman architecture. While the auditorium serves as a hub for various performing arts and community events, it has become a premier destination for national comedy tours. The venue’s elegant atmosphere provides a warm, intimate setting for stand-up, hosting legendary comedians such as Jay Leno, Mike Epps, and Brian Regan. For comedy fans, a night at Stambaugh offers the chance to see top-tier talent within a beautifully preserved piece of Ohio history.
