Dan and Phil: Hard Launch Tour at the Wilshire Ebell

Dan Howell and Phil Lester are bringing the Hard Launch World Tour to the Wilshire Ebell Theatre on Monday, November 2, 2026, with the show starting at 7:30 p.m. If you grew up watching the two of them on YouTube, this is an easy pick for your list of things to do in Los Angeles this fall. It also works as a pretty good excuse to finally see the inside of one of the city's older theaters.

A new date, same tickets

This show was first on the calendar for Friday, September 11. It's since moved to November 2, and Ticketmaster says tickets bought for the original date will be honored for the new one. So if you already had seats for September, you don't need to do anything except update your calendar. There's also a second LA night at the same theater on Wednesday, November 4, in case Monday doesn't work.

Who Dan and Phil are

The pair are British creators who built a huge following on YouTube over more than a decade, first on separate channels and then together. Their humor is dry, awkward and self-aware, and a lot of it is about the two of them being introverts who ended up in front of a camera anyway. Ticketmaster lists the show as comedy, and that's the right frame. It's a scripted stage show with jokes and audience moments, not a concert.

Hard Launch is their fourth headline world tour. It runs to more than 65 dates, starting in North America this fall and ending in the UK and Ireland in February 2027. The Ebell is a theater, not an arena, so you'll actually see their faces from most seats.

Know before you go

• Date: Monday, November 2, 2026, 7:30 p.m.
• Venue: Wilshire Ebell Theatre, 4401 West 8th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90005
• Tickets: through Ticketmaster only. The Ebell itself doesn't sell tickets for this show.
• Price: not listed in the data we had, so check Ticketmaster for current prices.
• Ages: kids under 14 need to come with someone 18 or older.

VIP tickets include a meet and greet. The tour asks fans not to bring gifts, since Dan and Phil can't carry them from city to city, but small letters or artwork are fine. If you need accessible seating with a VIP ticket, buy the ticket first and then contact the venue for help.

Getting there

The Ebell is on West 8th Street, a block south of Wilshire Boulevard in Mid-Wilshire. The venue warns that parking is limited, so leave early or get a rideshare. On a Monday night, traffic on Wilshire usually eases up after 7, but getting there by 6:45 gives you time to find a seat and look around the lobby.
