Chelsea Handler: The Bitch Is Back. In A Good Way.

Growing up in New Jersey with five older siblings gave comedian Chelsea Handler enough stories to start a career in stand-up. Chelsea has performed her comedy at festivals including the HBO Comedy Arts Festival and at Montreal’s Just for Laughs Comedy Festival. She has her own half hour special on Comedy Central showcasing her stand-up, and has been featured on Premium Blend on the same network.

Television contributes largely to spreading Chelsea’s comedy to the masses. She is the host of her own late night talk show called Chelsea Lately, where she comments on pop-culture and knocks celebrities down a peg or two, all in the name of comedy of course. Chelsea has been featured on numerous talk shows such as the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Today Show, and has guest-hosted The View. She was also one of the stars of the television series Girls Behaving Badly.

A woman of many talents, Chelsea has co-starred in the independent films Streamroom and National Lampoon’s Cattle Call. She is also a writer with two hit books titled My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One Night Stands and Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea.

Chelsea Handler is one of my favorite female comedians of all time. In the male-dominated business of stand-up, truly funny females are hard to come by, but Chelsea is one to watch out for. Her wit and willingness to say anything about anyone was what drew me into her show, Chelsea Lately. I watch it as much as possible because you never know what she will say next, but you know it’ll be hilarious. Her stand-up comedy is just as great as her show, and she covers various topics other than just celebrities. Chelsea Handler speaks her mind in her comedy, and not in an annoying-stuck-up-bitch kind of way. It’s more of a totally-hilarious-and-I-couldn’t-agree-more kind of way, and I love it!
