Filmed at the historic Plaza Nightclub in Los Angeles, KATE BERLANT: PARMESAN is a hilarious tour-de-force that skewers the many contradictions of modern life and the art of stand-up comedy itself.Parmesan is directed by Doron Max Hagay. Executive producers of the project are Kate Berlant, Naomi McPherson, Dave Kneebone, and Janel Kranking. The stand-up comedy special was filmed at Plaza Nightclub in Los Angeles.Besides her comedy specials, Kate Berlant is also known for her film and television roles.

Discovery also reports, speaking about Parmesan and Kate Berlant, the Executive Vice President of HBO Programming, Late Night & Specials, Nina Rosenstein, said:“When it comes to Kate Berlant, the comedy is in everything – a look, a gesture, a pause that lasts a little too long. She’s completely unpredictable, incredibly precise, and always a beat ahead of everybody else. Kate and her director, Doron Max Hagay, found the perfect home for this hour at the iconic Plaza Nightclub in L.A., and every frame of this special is so unmistakably Kate, which is why we love it so much.”We can thus expect to see Berlant's absurdist style with her unpredictability that somehow always manages to work better than most scripted comedy specials.Parmesan will be released on HBO on October 16, 2026. You can also stream it on HBO Max after it is released.For more articles like this, follow Soapcentral.
