Josh Johnson brings Comedy Band Camp to the Palace Theatre in Albany on Saturday, September 19, 2026 at 7:00 PM.

About Josh Johnson
Josh Johnson has risen quickly through the comedy ranks, earning a spot as a writer and correspondent on The Daily Show and building a reputation as one of the most thoughtful, precise stand-ups working today. His comedy is observational and personal — he finds the absurdity in everyday life without relying on shock value or cheap punchlines. His Netflix special solidified him as a headliner in his own right, and the Comedy Band Camp tour is the next step in what’s been an impressive trajectory.
If you want to get familiar with his style before the show, his specials are streaming — or check out Josh Johnson on Amazon for more.
The Venue
The Palace Theatre is Albany’s crown jewel — a restored 1931 movie palace with ornate ceilings, a grand lobby, and acoustics that make spoken word and comedy land perfectly. Every seat in the 2,800-seat house feels surprisingly close to the stage, and the atmosphere adds a layer of elegance that most comedy venues can’t match. It’s on Clinton Avenue in downtown Albany, with street parking and nearby garages available. Full Palace Theatre venue guide here.
