RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT
PRESENTS CHELSEA HANDLER HOST OF E!’s “CHELSEA LATELY”
LIVE AT THE RIVER ROCK SHOW THEATRE
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14
As one of the fastest-rising female stand-ups, Chelsea Handler has performed to sold-out audiences at venues and festivals everywhere including the Montreal Comedy Festival and the HBO Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen. Her comedy is a mixture of fearless honesty, ironic rifts and self-depreciations with no shortage of material.
Born in Livingston, New Jersey, Chelsea first made a name for herself in 2002 as the star of Oxygen’s hidden camera show, “Girls Behaving Badly” which went on to be syndicated in over 90 markets and lasted four seasons. In 2006, she starred in her own sketch comedy show, “The Chelsea Handler Show” which aired on E! and later joined NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” as a recurring correspondent. Just last year, she starred with Jenny McCarthy and Leah Remini on the hugely popular MSN online comedy series, “In The Motherhood.” At the same time, she broke into the world of male-dominated late-night talk shows with her E! Entertainment series, “Chelsea Lately” which provides her with the perfect showcase for what she does best … commenting on pop culture and entertainment news while interacting with the public. The show also offers a tongue-in-cheek look at celebrity truths and rumours that just won’t die and other hot topics of the day. Bringing refreshing new energy to the late night arena, “Chelsea Lately” is an authentic and hilarious commentary on the celebrity culture around us.
Her first book, entitled “My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One Night Stands” was published by Bloomsbury and became a bestseller on several lists. Her follow up book, “Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea” came out last April and debuted at #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list. Chelsea will be bringing her unique brand of comedy to the River Rock Casino Resort in February, 2009.
