Jo Koy at the San Diego Civic Theatre: What to Expect

Jo Koy heads back to San Diego on Sunday, November 15, 2026 for a one-night-only stand-up show at the San Diego Civic Theatre. For a comedian who has performed everywhere from intimate clubs to SoFi Stadium, the Civic feels almost custom-built for him -- big enough to give the crowd that "we are all in this together" energy, but small enough that every seat still feels like it has a personal connection to the stage. Curtain is set for the evening, and doors typically open around an hour before showtime.

If you have not seen Jo Koy live before, the experience is hard to oversell. Born Joseph Glenn Herbert in Tacoma to a Filipino mother and a white American father, he has spent the last two decades turning his upbringing, his family, and his own missteps into some of the most relatable comedy in the business. His mom is practically a co-star at this point, alongside his son Joseph, who has become a regular punchline target as well. Whether you are Filipino, half-Filipino, or just a fan of family-driven storytelling, his material lands.

2026 has been a busy year for him. He filmed his third Netflix special over two nights in Stockton earlier this year, announced the fall leg of his Koy Meets World Tour with stops in Kansas City, San Antonio, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Sacramento, and more (per Consequence), and continued an international run that has been packing rooms across Europe and Asia. The November 15 San Diego show slots into that incredible momentum.

The Civic Theatre itself has a rich history. Opened in January 1965 and owned by the City of San Diego, the venue is home to the San Diego Opera and California Ballet, and it has welcomed everyone from Broadway tours to A-list comedians over the past six decades. With a capacity just under 3,000 seats, it strikes a balance between scale and intimacy that suits stand-up perfectly. The orchestra section is great for fans who love being close to the action; the loge and balcony deliver excellent sound and surprisingly strong sightlines thanks to a steep tier design.

Getting to the venue is easy. The address is 1100 Third Avenue at B Street in downtown San Diego, just a few blocks from the trolley. Parking is available at several nearby garages, including the Civic Center Plaza garage and Horton Plaza area lots, and rideshare drop-off works smoothly along Third Avenue. If you are making a night of it, the Gaslamp Quarter is a short walk away -- great pre-show dinner options range from spots like Werewolf and Lou & Mickey's to dozens of casual taco and ramen joints.
