The Explorer & TV Host Promises “An Evening of Legends, Mysteries, and Tales of Adventure” at Balboa Theatre

SAN DIEGO (October 6, 2023) — Adventurer, television host, and author Josh Gates will bring the farthest reaches of the globe to Balboa Theatre on Saturday, February 17, 2024. Tickets are available now at sandiegotheatres.org and ticketmaster.com; fans can also purchase VIP Meet & Greet tickets. “Josh Gates Live! An Evening of Legends, Mysteries, and Tales of Adventure” is presented by San Diego Theatres, the nonprofit that operates both San Diego Civic Theatre and Balboa Theatre.

Gates is the star and executive producer of the smash-hit Discovery Channel series “Expedition Unknown,” which has taken him from sweltering African deserts to the icy shores of Antarctica. During this exciting live show, he will regale the audience with stories of his greatest expeditions and give insights into the world’s most intriguing mysteries. "Since he was last here four years ago, Josh has embarked on dozens more expeditions, and probably has hundreds of stories to tell," said Cindy Bowers, director of programming for San Diego Theatres. "Even if you saw him in 2019, you'll be in for a treat, because it won't be the same show."

“Josh Gates Live!” is proudly presented by San Diego Theatres, meaning every ticket sold helps support the organization’s mission to deliver exceptional performing arts and educational experiences at its two venues in downtown San Diego.
