As dozens of musical acts, artists and comedians roll through Chicago this year, another star has been added to the list: Chelsea Handler.
Grammy-nominated comedian and television host Chelsea Handler has added a stop in Chicago to her 2023 nationwide tour, a press release from Live Nation said Tuesday. According to the announcement, Handler will make a stop at the Chicago Theatre on Oct. 27.
"Because it’s been so much fun returning to stand-up, I figure the more time I spend with my fans, the better," a statement from Handler said. "It’s time to give people a little insight into how I turned into who I am today.”
The Chicago date comes as part of 25 new dates added to Handler's tour, which kicked off last month in Nashville. A handful of other midwestern cities were also added to the tour, including Milwaukee, Madison and Detroit.
A previously scheduled show for Thursday in Peoria is listed as sold out.
Tickets for the 25 new dates are set to go on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m., with presales beginning Wednesday.
