Set just off downtown Lincoln at 215 Temple Building, the Johnny Carson Theater celebrates the legacy of Nebraska native and late-night icon Johnny Carson, whose Tonight Show couch helped launch generations of comics. This intimate black box space on the University of Nebraska–Lincoln campus is built for connection, with flexible seating, a configurable stage and crisp acoustics that let stand-up, sketch and storytelling land with precision.
Fans love the theater’s close-up feel, clean sightlines and relaxed vibe that suits one-person shows, podcast tapings, speaker series and small-ensemble music. Expect thoughtfully curated programming that spotlights rising comedians alongside touring favorites, plus campus-driven creativity that keeps the calendar fresh. The lobby is efficient, staff are welcoming and the setting makes pre- and post-show hangs around downtown and the Haymarket easy.
Arrive early for parking in nearby campus garages, review bag and security policies and count on ADA-friendly access. Whether you are catching a sharp new hour, an improv night or a storytelling set, the Johnny Carson Theater pairs big laughs with a low-friction experience.
