George Lopez Live at the Orpheum Theatre in LA

George Lopez is headed back to a Los Angeles stage, and the room he picked suits him. On October 24, 2026, the comedian plays the Orpheum Theatre on Broadway, one of downtown's grandest old movie palaces. It is an easy pick for anyone building a list of things to do in Los Angeles this fall.

What to expect

Lopez is one of the best-known Latino comedians in the country, a stand-up who grew up in Mission Hills in the San Fernando Valley and went on to star in his own sitcom, host late-night television and fill theaters for decades. His live act leans on storytelling: family, growing up in LA, getting older, and the everyday friction between generations and cultures. It is loose and conversational, and it plays especially well in a room full of Angelenos who recognize the references.

The Orpheum adds to the night. Opened in 1926, the theatre has a French Baroque interior, a towering vertical sign and a balcony that keeps the back rows closer to the stage than you would expect. Even a modest seat gives you a good view of the performer.

Getting there

The Orpheum sits in the Broadway Theater District, a short walk from the Metro B and D Line stations at Pershing Square and 7th Street/Metro Center. That makes transit the easiest way in on a Saturday night. If you drive, plan for paid lots nearby and leave extra time, since downtown parking fills up fast when several venues have shows on the same night.

Arrive early and make a night of it. Broadway has restaurants, bars and the Grand Central Market a few blocks north. For more upcoming events in Los Angeles, check the OTBLA comedy listings, and confirm the doors time and any venue bag policy on the Ticketmaster page before you go.
