Opened in 1924 as the Earle, a grand picture palace in DC's Penn Quarter, the Warner Theatre is a 1,847-seat downtown landmark just steps from the White House. Warner Brothers acquired it in the 1940s and renamed it for Harry Warner; it ran movies, vaudeville and big bands, hosted civil rights era events, and later turned counter-cultural with underground film, soul, rock, punk and hip-hop. A three-year restoration reopened the room in 1992 with a gala hosted by Shirley MacLaine and Frank Sinatra, and it celebrated its centennial in 2024. Now operated by Live Nation, it books touring standup alongside dance, music and theatre - recent and upcoming comedy bills include Marc Maron, Aziz Ansari, Maria Bamford, Bobby Lee, Kathy Griffin, Brian Regan, Matteo Lane, Daniel Sloss, Kathleen Madigan and Atsuko Okatsuka.
