“Out Of The Closet Comedy” – When you think one of the most prolific character actors, who’s also an outrageous openly gay stand-up comedian, one name comes to mind…. Jason Stuart. Stuart has been making people laugh out loud with his hysterical performances all over the country since coming out in 1993. He has accomplished what few other gay comics have ever achieved: brutal honesty with humor in a world that’s not always kind. Not only is Stuart an all-out crowd pleaser, but he transcends the boundaries of race, gender and sexual orientation with his edgy comedic style. Stuart’s material about his experiences as a single Jewish gay man living in Hollywood is original, cutting edge and just plain funny. Friday, May 24th 7:30 and 9:30, Saturday, May 25th 7:00 and 9:30pm  $14.00. Rated: PG 18.  The Comedy Catch, 3224 Brainerd Road (423) 629-2233 comedycatch.com
