Tickets on Sale NOW; 2 shows June 10 (7 p.m. & 9:30 p.m. CT), Taped for New Comedy Special
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Comedian Chelsea Handler is bringing her Vaccinated and Horny Tour to the Ryman Auditorium on Friday, June 10, 2022, for two shows, 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. CT, as part of the Ryman Auditorium’s 130th anniversary year.
Both shows will be taped for inclusion in her next comedy special. In addition to her stand-up persona, Handler is a television host, 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 — during which she was the only female late-night talk show host on air — Handler launched her documentary series Chelsea Does, followed by her talk show Chelsea, both on Netflix in 2016.
Handler 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. Most recently, she released her first stand-up special in over six years, the critically acclaimed “Chelsea Handler: Evolution” on HBO Max in 2020, and launched her iHeart Radio advice podcast, Dear Chelsea, in 2021.
Last year, Chelsea also embarked on the Vaccinated and Horny Tour, bringing her sensational stand-up set to 40+ cities across the nation.
