Jaboukie Young-White at Lyric Hyperion Theater

Jaboukie Young-White is a comedian, writer, filmmaker and musician from Chicago who made his name as a correspondent on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. On Sunday, November 8, 2026, he brings his USA tour to the Lyric Hyperion Theater in Silver Lake, and it is an easy pick for anyone building a list of things to do in Los Angeles this month.

When: Sunday, November 8, 2026, 7:30 PM to about 9:00 PM Where: Lyric Hyperion Theater, 2106 Hyperion Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027 Price: $34.45 per the event listing Tickets: AllEvents listing

What to expect

The tour poster is a good preview of his sense of humor: two near-identical portraits, one smiling and labeled "American," one stone-faced and labeled "European," plus a note to "get it while it lasts." It is dry, self-aware and a little absurd, which is how his stand-up tends to play. Expect a single night of material from a performer who moves comfortably between observational jokes, pop-culture riffs and personal stories.

Listings give a showtime of 7:30 PM and a run of roughly an hour and a half, so plan on a full but not exhausting evening. A Sunday night show also means you can make a day of it in the neighborhood and still be home at a reasonable hour before the work week starts.

The venue

The Lyric Hyperion is a Silver Lake room that has long been a home for live comedy, music, drag and drinks, with a cafe attached. Its description sums up the pitch: if it was weird and it was in Silver Lake, but it was not a full-on concert, you probably saw it there. It is a small theater, which suits stand-up well, since the distance between you and the stage is short.

Getting there

Hyperion Avenue runs through the heart of Silver Lake, and street parking in the area fills up on busy nights, so give yourself extra time or consider a rideshare. Arriving early lets you grab a drink or something to eat at the cafe before doors and find your seat without rushing.

Tickets are listed at $34.45, and small rooms like this one can sell out, so check the listing before you commit to other plans. It is one of the upcoming events in Los Angeles worth putting on the calendar now, since there are still a couple of weeks to plan around it.
