I attended the Ron White fundraiser show for the Texas flood victims. This was my first time to attend a show at the Paramount. I easily parked at a nearby parking garage for a small fee and walked to the venue.
I loved the interior of the theater and its old-school feeling and would have liked to have taken a few pictures to share here, but phones were sealed upon entry for this particular show.
There were quite a few people there to assist people in getting to their seats. They were so friendly and helpful!
The seats were clean and comfortable and we could easily see, hear, and understand the comedians.
They sell candy and various types of drinks. I have to say they mix up a pretty mean Old Fashioned!
It's my understanding that the Paramount donated the venue as part of the fundraiser. If true, what a nice gesture.
Regardless, it was a great evening in a great venue. I would definitely enjoy coming back for more shows.

Good locka spot that shows various shows for theater and the film fest SXSW and AFF. Also does lots of stand up and theater performances. It's a neat spot and just know that it's an older place so the chairs and leg room is less than more modern places.

My wife and I were here several times during the recent ATX TV festival season 14. Many venues were held here at the Paramount.
The seats are good and you have a nice view of the stage and screen from all the seats.
A nice place.
