Seeing the hosts of Last Week Tonight and Late Night trade stand-up sets in a gilded 1920s theater is a very New York way to end a weekend. Both are sharp, fast and at their loosest off camera, and the Beacon's size keeps it feeling close. If you watch either show, grab seats while this date is still on sale.
What to expect
The ornate Beacon Theatre seats under 3,000, so even upper-level seats feel close to the stage. Expect stand-up from both comedians in one evening.
Good to know
- Take the 1, 2 or 3 to 72 St and walk two blocks north on Broadway.
- Buy through MSG's Ticketmaster links to avoid inflated resale.
- The Beacon's upper balcony is steep — pick orchestra or loge if stairs are tough.
- Grab dinner nearby on Broadway before the show.
