A comedian scheduled to perform at an off-Strip hotel-casino has canceled his early January show in support of the resort’s striking workers.

Steve Hofstetter told fans he canceled his Saturday show at Virgin hotel-casino’s 24 Oxford venue, according to a Sunday Facebook post.

“I was hoping the strike would be settled by now, but it isn’t,” Hofstetter wrote in a Sunday Facebook post. “And so in solidarity with the striking culinary workers, I am cancelling my January show at the Virgin Hotel in Las Vegas.”

The cancellation is one more development in the weeks-long labor dispute between Culinary Local 226 members and Paradise Road resort management.
