Criminal Presents: An Evening with Phoebe Judge

Phoebe Judge, the host of the podcast Criminal, comes to the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever on Saturday, December 12, for a live evening built around the kind of stories her show is known for. If you are collecting things happening in Los Angeles this winter, this is one for the people who already listen on a commute and want to hear it in a room.

When: Saturday, December 12, 2026 (start time to be announced) Where: The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever, Los Angeles Tickets: Through TicketWeb (price not listed on our source)

What to expect

Criminal is a long-running podcast about crime in the broad sense: stories of people who did something wrong, people who had something wrong done to them, and the odd corners in between. Judge is known for a calm, close-to-the-microphone delivery that lets the details do the work. An evening with her is a chance to experience that voice live, with an audience hushed around it.

The listing is billed as "An Evening with Phoebe Judge," so expect a host-led night rather than a conventional concert. We have not seen a published set list or run of show, and the source does not name any guests, so treat anything beyond the headline as unconfirmed until the ticket page says otherwise.

The room

The Masonic Lodge sits on the Hollywood Forever grounds, a historic cemetery that doubles as one of the city's most atmospheric event spaces. Pairing a storytelling night with that setting is a natural fit, and it is part of why live podcast tapings and talks feel a little different here than in a standard theater. Hollywood Forever is also a good example of the arts and culture programming that makes upcoming events in Los Angeles worth tracking beyond the usual club and arena calendar.

Practical info

The ticket page lists the date but not a start time or a price at the moment we checked, so confirm both before you plan dinner or parking. Our source also does not give a street address for the lodge itself, and the cemetery's main entrance address is not necessarily where the lodge sits, so follow the directions on your ticket confirmation. Hollywood Forever events often draw a crowd arriving at once, so leave extra time and consider rideshare.

Events like this tend to sell through on name recognition alone, since fans of a long-running show know exactly what they are buying. If you want to go, buy from the official TicketWeb link on this page instead of a resale listing.
