Frequently Asked Questions
When is Chelsea Handler performing in Durham and what time does the show start?
Chelsea Handler is scheduled to perform in Durham, North Carolina on Saturday, May 2, 2026 at DPAC (Durham Performing Arts Center), with the show starting at 8:00 PM and lobby doors opening at 7:00 PM. Times can shift slightly, so it is smart to arrive at least 30–45 minutes early to get through security, visit restrooms, and find your seat without rushing.
Where is DPAC located?
DPAC is located at 123 Vivian Street, Durham, NC 27701, next to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park and the American Tobacco Historic District. This central location puts you within walking distance of many restaurants, bars, and parking decks, making it easy to plan dinner or drinks before or after the show.
How long does a Chelsea Handler show at DPAC usually last?
A Chelsea Handler stand-up show typically runs about 1.5 to 2 hours from the listed start time, including any opening act and her main set. Because there is usually no long intermission, plan restroom breaks and snack runs before the show starts or during quick transitions between performers.
What is the seating capacity of DPAC and what is it like for comedy?
DPAC seats around 2,700–2,800 people, with an intimate horseshoe-style layout and steeply raked seating that keeps every seat relatively close to the stage. The venue is known for excellent sightlines and state-of-the-art sound, which makes it ideal for comedy, since you can see and hear clearly from nearly any section.
Which seats are best for a Chelsea Handler show at DPAC?
For the closest and most immersive experience, look for Orchestra seats in the center sections, especially in the front and mid rows. If you want a strong view at a slightly lower price, consider Grand Tier or first few rows of the Balcony in the center; these areas often provide a great overall view of the stage and are popular with regular DPAC guests.
How can I get cheap tickets for Chelsea Handler in Durham?
To get cheaper tickets, compare prices across several ticket platforms and always check the total cost including fees instead of just the base ticket price. Be flexible with your seating by considering upper Balcony or side sections, monitor resale listings as the date approaches because some sellers lower prices, and use filters like “lowest price” or “best deal” to quickly spot good bargains.
Where can I park for a show at DPAC?
There are several nearby parking decks commonly used for DPAC events, including the American Tobacco East, North, and South Decks and the South Mangum Street Garage. These decks typically charge a flat event rate of about $10 per car and open about two hours before showtime, with walking times to DPAC of about 3–7 minutes depending on the deck.
How can I save money or make parking easier for this event?
To save money, you can look for City of Durham garages that may charge standard rates or free weekend parking when not operating on special event pricing, and you can carpool to split the flat event fee. Arriving early gives you more choices of decks and street spaces, and for guests with mobility issues, DPAC offers a courtesy shuttle from the American Tobacco North Deck to the theater entrance.
What are DPAC’s ticket and entry policies I should know?
DPAC uses fully digital mobile tickets that you access on your smartphone, which helps protect against fraud and makes entry faster, so be sure your phone is charged and your tickets are downloaded before you arrive. Security screening and bag checks are in place at the doors, and only small bags are recommended; checking the “Know Before You Go” section on DPAC’s site before the show will keep you up to date on current policies.
Is DPAC accessible for guests with disabilities?
DPAC is designed with accessibility in mind and offers accessible seating, companion seats, elevators, and services for guests with mobility challenges. If someone in your group needs accommodations, contact DPAC or your ticket provider ahead of time to reserve appropriate seats and to get information on drop-off areas, accessible parking options, and any available assistance inside the theater.
