Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang


Chelsea Handler, the reigning queen of comedy, is coming to the Raleigh Amphitheater July 3oth as part of her Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang book tour. The Performance will surely consist of her raw, self deprecating sense of humor and racy observations on pop culture and celebrities. Handler made her first television debut on Girls Behaving Badly, a sketch comedy program showcasing woman getting themselves into ridiculous situations. It was like Jack Ass for girls with a hint of Candid Camera. Achieving minor success, Girls Behaving Badly was eventually canceled and Chelsea Handler was offered her own late night chat show on E ! - Chelsea Lately. The formula began with a short monologue by Handler followed by a round table discussion of current events ( in the world of celebrity gossip) with three top comedians, concluding with Handler interviewing a guest celebrity. Since the show began, Handler has published three best selling books: My Horizontal Life: A collection of One Night Stands, Are You There Vodka? It’s me Chelsea! And Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang. Handler's success is built around her blunt honesty that leaves no subject off limits - (especially her sexual misadventures and love of alcohol), her beauty, and the simple fact that she is indeed very funny. Chelsea Handler's performance here should not be missed. I think we're all hoping she brings Chuy along for the tour.
