Spirit Animal is a modern Palm Springs supper-club and live-performance venue located inside Hotel Zoso, designed for audiences who crave something immersive, stylish, and a little unexpected. Produced and programmed by Take Five Entertainment, Spirit Animal blends the intimacy of a classic lounge with the edge of contemporary nightlife. Our mission is to create elevated live experiences that celebrate artistry, storytelling, and human connection—whether through music, comedy, cabaret, or genre-bending performance.

Events & Programming

• Spirit Animal hosts a curated mix of ticketed and special-event programming, including:
• Stand-up comedy and alternative comedy showcases
• Cabaret, burlesque, drag, and variety revues
• Live bands, DJs, and themed music nights spanning retro, soul, jazz, indie, and dance
• Immersive dinner-theater concepts and one-of-a-kind pop-up performances
• Private events, buyouts, and late-night hotel guest experiences

Every show is intentionally programmed to fit the room—prioritizing quality talent, strong production values, and a vibe that feels both exclusive and welcoming.

Our Philosophy

Spirit Animal is about creating moments, not just events. We champion performers with a point of view, audiences with curiosity, and experiences that feel transportive. Inspired by Palm Springs’ storied entertainment history and reimagined for today, Spirit Animal is where nightlife meets artistry, and where the unexpected feels right at home.
