New York Times best-selling author, comedian, television host and advocate Chelsea Handler will perform for one night only as part of the “Chelsea Handler: Little Big Bitch Tour” on August 26, at The Clubhouse in East Hampton. Tickets for the show went on sale on April 14.
Producers Murmrr, MRR Productions and The Clubhouse, are teaming up to produce the event. A portion of the proceeds from the show will be donated to pyp, a female-driven philanthropic organization focused on collectively funding grants to nonprofit initiatives that serve the East End, and Project MOST, which offers comprehensive enrichment programs to children and families on the East End.
“The Little Big Bitch Tour” will give fans a retrospective look at what made Handler the person and comedian they have grown to love.
“Because it’s been so much fun returning to stand-up, I figure the more time I spend with my fans, the better,” said Handler. “It’s time to give people a little insight into how I turned into who I am today.”
This run follows her successful “Vaccinated & Horny Tour,” which saw her perform over 115 shows in over 90 markets during the last year and a half, and garnered her a People’s Choice Award for Best Comedy Act along the way. That tour marked Handler’s return to stand-up after a six-year hiatus, reminding her of her love of the craft; it was also taped for Handler’s new special, “Revolution,” now available for streaming on Netflix.
Chelsea Handler is a comedian, television host, six-time New York Times best-selling author and advocate whose humor and candor have established her as one of the most celebrated voices in entertainment and pop culture. After a strong seven-year run as the host of E!’s top-rated “Chelsea Lately,” a tenure in which she was the only female late-night talk show host on-air, she launched her documentary series “Chelsea Does” followed by her talk show “Chelsea” on Netflix in 2016. She has penned six best-selling books, five of which have reached #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list, including 2019’s “Life Will Be the Death of Me.”
In 2022, Handler made her return to Netflix with her critically acclaimed comedy special “Revolution.” It follows the success of her 2020 HBO Max comedy special “Evolution,” which earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album. In 2021, she launched her iHeart Radio advice podcast, “Dear Chelsea,” and embarked on the “Vaccinated and Horny Tour,” bringing her stand-up set to 90-plus cities with 115 shows across North America and winning “The Comedy Act of 2021” at the People’s Choice Awards. Handler has been honored by TIME magazine as one of its annual “TIME 100;” Glamour Magazine as one of their Women of the Year; and the Human Rights Campaign, which gave her its Ally for Equality Award.
