The Vogel at Count Basie Center for the Arts

The Vogel is a modern, intimate performance space at the Count Basie Center for the Arts in downtown Red Bank. Opened in 2020, the venue is named for philanthropists Anne and Sheldon Vogel, honoring Sheldon’s legacy as a legendary Atlantic Records executive. The room features a two-level design with a balconied hall and a rustic, industrial aesthetic. Its flexible layout ensures a close-to-the-stage feel, providing an immersive environment with crisp sound and excellent sightlines for every guest. As a premier destination for live comedy, The Vogel hosts a curated mix of established headliners and rising stars. Notable performers like Maria Bamford and Jared Freid have graced its stage, bringing top-tier sets to this warm, professional setting. Located in Red Bank’s vibrant arts district near the Navesink River, the venue is steps away from the town's popular dining scene, making it an ideal anchor for a night of world-class entertainment.
