Palm Springs, CA (The Hollywood Times) 8/5/27 – The Hollywood Times is thrilled to announce its media partnership for an upcoming evening of stand-up comedy starring award-winning actor, comedian, filmmaker and LGBTQ+ activist Jason Stuart.
Stuart will headline the Cascade Lounge at Agua Caliente Casino Palm Springs on Friday, September 18, 2026, at 7 p.m. He will be joined by special guests Stephanie Hodge and Ethan Herschenfeld for an evening promising bold comedy, memorable stories and plenty of audience interaction. A special “LOL Q&A” with Stuart will follow the performances.
A longtime friend of The Hollywood Times, Stuart has built an impressive career spanning stand-up comedy, television, film and LGBTQ+ advocacy. His fearless honesty, personal storytelling and sharp observations about relationships, identity, aging and life in the entertainment industry have made him a distinctive and enduring voice.
Stuart is also the filmmaker and co-star of the award-winning drama Redlining, appearing alongside Alexandra Paul. The acclaimed film will screen at Cinema Diverse: The Palm Springs LGBTQ+ Film Festival in September.
Stephanie Hodge brings decades of experience as both an actress and stand-up comedian. Her more recent credits include the acclaimed television series The Comeback, starring Lisa Kudrow, and the comedy Company Retreat. Her confident delivery and wonderfully direct comedic perspective make her an exciting addition to the evening.
Ethan Herschenfeld is a comedian, actor and award-winning opera singer whose diverse background gives his comedy a distinctive voice. His ability to blend intelligent observations with energetic storytelling has made him a memorable performer on comedy stages across the country.
The intimate setting of the Cascade Lounge offers audiences the opportunity to experience all three comedians up close, followed by a lively question-and-answer session at the end of the show.
