Bakersfield Fox Theater

The Bakersfield Fox Theater is a historic landmark in downtown Bakersfield, originally opening its doors in 1930. Designed by architect S. Charles Lee, the venue features a striking blend of Spanish Colonial Revival and Art Deco styles. The interior is celebrated for its "atmospheric" design, where guests sit beneath a ceiling of twinkling stars and ornate gold leafing. Following a dedicated restoration in the 1990s, the theater has reclaimed its status as a premier destination for live entertainment, offering a nostalgic and elegant backdrop for every show. Today, the Fox is a regular stop for national comedy tours, providing an intimate setting with exceptional acoustics. The stage has hosted a diverse array of talent, including Marlon Wayans, Fred Armisen, and Rob Schneider. Whether you are seeing a household name or a touring favorite, the theater’s historic charm and central location in downtown Bakersfield ensure a memorable experience for comedy fans.
