The Paramount
The Paramount is Huntington Village's anchor venue — 1,550-cap concert hall downstairs, intimate upstairs comedy + cabaret room. Strong touring lineup year-round, walkable to dinner at six village restaurants.
The Paramount is the mid-sized concert hall + comedy + cabaret venue in Huntington Village. The main hall (1,550 cap) brings consistent touring acts; the smaller upstairs room hosts intimate comedy showcases and cabaret nights that are way more fun than they have any right to be.
Two-room strategy
Main hall (downstairs) — concerts, comedy headliners, dance nights. GA floor + reserved balcony. Best sightlines from balcony rows 3-5.
The upstairs room — cabaret + comedy showcase. Table seating, two-drink minimum, ~150 cap. This is the locals’ move.
Worth knowing
- Saturday comedy showcases (upstairs) — six touring stand-ups, 90 minutes flat
- Wednesday cabaret nights (upstairs) — six Broadway / off-Broadway performers
- Touring concerts (downstairs) — check the schedule monthly
Practical
- Park at Stewart Ave public lot (5-min walk; cheaper + easier than New York Ave)
- Pre-show dinner: Bistro Cassis, Honu, Prime, Robke’s — all walkable
- Doors 7:30, shows 8:00 typical
