What’s playing at the Historic Everett Theatre in April 2026? Five verified shows including tribute rock (Def Leppard, Journey, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan), stand-up comedy (Henry Cho, Tyler Smith’s Dope Show), and an Elvis fundraiser for the Fallen Heroes Project. Venue: 2911 Colby Ave, Everett, WA. Box office: 425-258-6766.
The 1901 brick building at 2911 Colby Ave has been putting on shows for longer than most of the rest of Everett has even existed. And this April, the Historic Everett Theatre is doing what it does best — stacking a month’s worth of live entertainment so dense it’s basically impossible to claim there’s nothing to do on a Saturday night in Everett.
From thunderous tribute bands to sharp stand-up comedy to an Elvis performance that doubles as a fundraiser for fallen veterans, the theatre’s April lineup is a case study in why this venue continues to be the cultural anchor of downtown Everett. Here’s what’s coming up and which shows are worth clearing your calendar for.
April 10 & 11: Hysteria + Infinity Project (Def Leppard & Journey Tributes)
Friday, April 10 — Stevie Ray Visited with Randy Hansen | Doors 6:30 PM | Show 7:30 PM
Saturday, April 11 — Hysteria (Def Leppard) with Infinity Project (Journey) | Doors 6 PM | Show 7 PM
2911 Colby Ave, Everett, WA | Tickets via Tixr
The weekend of April 10–11 is all about the golden era of rock. Opening the run is Stevie Ray Visited with Randy Hansen on Friday night — a double-bill tribute honoring both Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix. Randy Hansen has built a serious following in the Pacific Northwest as one of the most committed Hendrix interpreters working today, and pairing his act with a Stevie Ray tribute makes this one of the more ambitious single-night lineups the theatre has booked this spring.
Saturday night brings arguably the biggest crowd-pleasers of the month: Hysteria (a Def Leppard tribute) and Infinity Project (a Journey tribute) sharing the same stage. If you grew up with “Pour Some Sugar on Me” and “Don’t Stop Believin’,” this is a nostalgic one-two punch designed specifically to make you forget what year it is. These aren’t bar bands running through the hits — both acts have been playing these catalogs long enough to do them justice.
For the Saturday show: doors at 6 PM, show at 7 PM. Get there early if you want a good spot on the floor.
April 18: Tyler Smith Presents The Dope Show
Saturday, April 18 | 7:00 PM
2911 Colby Ave, Everett, WA | Tickets via Tixr
Note: This is an external production. Theatre gift certificates and coupons are not valid for this event.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when comedians perform one sober set, take an intermission to consume cannabis, and then get back on stage to perform again — this is exactly that experiment, live and in public at one of Everett’s most storied venues.
Tyler Smith’s The Dope Show is a touring comedy showcase that has developed a cult following for the comedic chaos that premise creates. The contrast between the tight, polished first sets and whatever happens after intermission is the entertainment. It’s unpredictable in the best possible way.
Washington’s legal cannabis culture has created a whole lane for this kind of event, and seeing it staged inside the 125-year-old Historic Everett Theatre is a combination that probably couldn’t exist anywhere else in the country. Recommended for adults who enjoy boundary-pushing stand-up.
April 24: Henry Cho
Friday, April 24 | 8:00 PM
2911 Colby Ave, Everett, WA | Tickets via box office: 425-258-6766
Henry Cho is one of those comics who’s been quietly excellent for decades without ever making the kind of noise that gets him on magazine covers. His material is clean, sharp, and consistently underestimated — which is exactly why his shows tend to sell out. If you’ve seen him before, you already know. If you haven’t, April 24th is an excellent entry point.
The 8 PM showtime makes this an easy choice for a dinner-and-comedy date night in downtown Everett. With limited tickets remaining as of early April, don’t sit on this one.
April 25: Tracy Alan Moore as Elvis — Fallen Heroes Project Fundraiser
Saturday, April 25 | Doors 6:30 PM | Show 7:30 PM
2911 Colby Ave, Everett, WA | Tickets from $69 via venue and ticketing partners
The month closes on a meaningful note. Tracy Alan Moore is widely considered one of the top Elvis Presley tribute artists on the West Coast, and his April 25 show at the Historic Everett Theatre is also a fundraiser for the Fallen Heroes Project, an organization that supports families of fallen U.S. military personnel.
At $69 and up, this is one of the pricier evenings on the April calendar, but you’re getting both a high-production Elvis experience and the knowledge that your ticket revenue is going somewhere worthwhile. Moore’s command of Presley’s catalog — from the Sun Records rockabilly days through the Vegas years — is the kind of performance you can describe to people who weren’t there without sounding like you’re overselling it.
The 1901 venue is a fitting setting for an Elvis show. The King started his career playing theaters not unlike this one, and there’s something genuinely poetic about seeing that tradition honored in a building that predates rock and roll by more than five decades.
Why the Historic Everett Theatre Keeps Winning
It would be easy to take this building for granted. It’s been standing on Colby Avenue since 1901 — through both World Wars, the Boeing boom, the 1990s downtown slump, and now the ongoing revival happening block by block through downtown Everett. The fact that it’s still here, still programming shows, still drawing audiences from across Snohomish County, is not an accident.
The Historic Everett Theatre fills a specific and important niche: intimate enough that there’s not a bad seat in the house, but large enough to attract acts and touring productions that wouldn’t work in a bar. It’s the kind of venue that makes a city feel like a real city — not a bedroom community waiting for something to do on a Saturday night, but a place with its own cultural gravity.
April’s lineup reflects that: five shows across four weekends, covering tribute rock, blues, stand-up comedy, and a veterans fundraiser. That’s a full month of reasons to stay in Everett instead of driving to Seattle.
