Mark your calendars, Ventura — comedy legend Aries Spears is bringing his one-night-only show to The Majestic Ventura Theater on Friday, July 31st at 8pm. Known for his razor-sharp wit and larger-than-life stage presence, Spears has been packing houses across the country, and this summer he's making our historic downtown theater his only Central Coast stop. It's a rare chance to catch an A-list comic in an intimate setting without heading to L.A.

Tickets are going fast, so don't sleep on it. As the Ventura Breeze reported, this is a can't-miss summer highlight — grab your crew and get ready to laugh.
