Hanford Fox Theatre

Opened in 1929, the Hanford Fox Theatre is a beautifully restored landmark in the heart of historic downtown Hanford.

Stepping into the auditorium feels like a journey back to the golden age of cinema, providing a grand yet intimate backdrop that enhances every punchline and performance. The venue has established itself as a premier destination for world-class comedy in the Central Valley, hosting legendary performers such as Gabriel Iglesias, George Lopez, and Ron White. Located within walking distance of local restaurants and the historic Courthouse Square, the theater anchors a charming neighborhood perfect for an evening out. Whether you are catching a national headliner or a special film screening, the theater’s historic charm and exceptional acoustics offer a unique environment for comedy fans.
