Frequently Asked Questions
When is Chelsea Handler performing in Monterey and what time does the show start?
Chelsea Handler is scheduled to perform in Monterey, California on Saturday, May 16, 2026 at the Golden State Theatre, with most listings showing an 8:00 PM showtime and some venue info mentioning 7:00 PM door times. Plan to arrive at least 30–45 minutes early so you have enough time for downtown parking, ticket scanning, and getting to your seat before the comedy starts.
Where is the Golden State Theatre located?
The Golden State Theatre is located at 417 Alvarado Street, right in the heart of downtown Monterey, close to the Monterey Conference Center and many restaurants and bars. The central location makes it easy to combine the show with dinner or drinks within a short walk of the theater.
How long does a Chelsea Handler show at the Golden State Theatre usually last?
A Chelsea Handler stand-up show typically runs about 1.5 to 2 hours from the scheduled start time, including any opening comedian and her main set. Because intermissions at comedy shows are usually brief or skipped, it is a good idea to take care of restrooms and concessions before the show begins or during short breaks between acts.
What is the seating capacity of the Golden State Theatre and what is the venue like?
The Golden State Theatre has a current seating capacity of about 1,000–1,300 seats, with restored orchestra and balcony sections that give the room an intimate feel. Built in 1926, it features Old World decor, plush seats, and atmospheric details inspired by a Spanish-style castle, creating a classic theater setting that works very well for live comedy.
Which seats are best for a Chelsea Handler show at the Golden State Theatre?
For the closest and clearest view, premium or center orchestra seats near the front are considered the best, giving you a direct line of sight to the stage. If you want a balance between price and view, center seats a bit farther back in the orchestra or the front rows of the balcony still offer strong sightlines while often costing less than the absolute front rows.
How can I get cheap tickets for Chelsea Handler in Monterey?
To find cheaper tickets, compare prices on multiple ticket sites and always check the final cost including all fees instead of just the base ticket price. Look at seats in rear orchestra or balcony sections, watch resale listings regularly (especially as the date approaches, when sellers may lower prices), and sort by “lowest price” or similar filters to quickly find budget-friendly options.
Where and when can I buy tickets for this show?
Tickets are available online through major ticket platforms and directly via the Golden State Theatre’s official site for this event. If the show is not sold out, the theater’s box office also sells tickets starting about one hour before doors open on the night of the event, which can be useful for last-minute purchases or avoiding some online fees.
What are the parking options near the Golden State Theatre?
Since the theater is in downtown Monterey, there are multiple public parking garages and surface lots within a few blocks, as well as street parking on and around Alvarado Street. Local visitors note that after 6 PM many downtown street parking spots have no hourly limit, and nearby city garages usually have space for theater events, making it fairly easy to find parking if you arrive a bit early.
How can I save money and stress on parking for the show?
You can often save money by parking in a city garage a block or two away instead of the very closest lots and by taking advantage of evening flat rates when available. Arriving 30–45 minutes before showtime helps you grab a convenient spot without circling, and checking a parking map or app beforehand lets you compare rates and even reserve a discounted space near the venue.
What venue policies and arrival tips should I know for the Golden State Theatre?
The Golden State Theatre is a historic indoor venue, so expect standard bag checks and typical theater rules about outside food, drinks, and cameras; checking the theater’s FAQ before you go will keep you current on specific policies. Plan to arrive early to enjoy the restored lobby, get your drinks from the bar if you want them during the show, and give yourself time to walk from parking so you can sit down and relax before Chelsea Handler takes the stage.
