Two of General Hospital's most recognizable faces are heading back to downtown Cleveland this fall. Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson, who play mob enforcer Jason Morgan and hacker Damian Spinelli on the long-running ABC soap, will bring their live variety show Stone Cold & The Jackal to Hilarities 4th Street Theatre on October 14 at 7:30 p.m.
The pairing is a homecoming of sorts for Burton, who grew up in the Cleveland suburb of Richmond Heights before later attending Beverly Hills High School, according to Wikipedia. He also once co-owned Cleveland Beer Cellars in University Circle, giving the actor a small-business footprint in Northeast Ohio beyond his television career, as reported by Cleveland.com. The venue is also identified as an event space.
What the Show Actually Is
Stone Cold & The Jackal brings together music and comedy, per the show's own listing. The pair's podcast has featured fellow soap stars. Launched in 2018, the podcast was originally titled Stone Cold and the Jackal and later became The Daily Drama. The podcast is also identified in information distributed via Apple Podcasts.
Fans looking to catch up on plot before the show has plenty of recent material to work with. Cleveland.com's report notes that Jason Morgan returned to Port Charles in July 2026 after spending three months in a Jakarta prison, only to find his romance with Britt Westbourne on the brink of collapse — complicated further by the revelation that Anna Devane almost murdered Westbourne. Morgan also quit his job as enforcer for mob boss Sonny Corinthos, per the same account. Spinelli's storyline has taken him even further afield: the character moved to Australia to start a new life with Maxie Jones, according to Cleveland.com's report.
Emmy Pedigree Behind the Characters
Burton brings serious hardware to the stage. He has earned ten Daytime Emmy Award nominations across his career, winning Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 1998 for General Hospital and again in 2017 for The Young and the Restless, and he picked up an Outstanding Lead Performer nomination as recently as July 2026, according to Wikipedia. Anderson has his own string of recognition, with five Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his portrayal of Spinelli, spanning 2009 through 2014, per Wikipedia.
The show they're headlining carries its own weight in daytime television history. General Hospital won Outstanding Daytime Drama at the 52nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards in October 2025, according to the Hindustan Times. Created by Frank and Doris Hursley, the soap premiered on ABC on April 1, 1963, making it the longest-running American daytime drama currently in production. In Cleveland, the show airs weekdays at 3 p.m. on WEWS Channel 5, Cleveland.com reports.
Tickets, VIP Packages and Venue Details
The event is 21-and-over, and general tickets start at $65, with VIP packages ranging from $120 to $235 that include a meet-and-greet and photo opportunity, according to Cleveland.com. The show unfolds inside Hilarities 4th Street Theatre, which Eventective identifies as an event space. Eventective also lists Pickwick & Frolic and its main restaurant, cabaret, and martini bar.
The show also includes acoustic portions at Hilarities.
