Chelsea Handler is back! This spring, the comedian will release her first book in five years – a memoir – and head out on an unconventional “sit-down” comedy tour in support.<\/p>\n
Handler’s first memoir Life Will Be the Death of Me<\/em> is due out April 9. Two days later, she’ll embark on a brand new comedy tour in support. The trek will begin in Boston and travel cross-country to an additional 15 cities before wrapping June 1 in San Francisco. Among the itinerary are stops in Houston, Chicago, New York, Miami and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n Unlike her typical stand-up routines, Handler’s latest comedy venture will be a “sit-down” tour. Promoter Live Nation revealed in a statement<\/a> that the tour will “feature Chelsea in conversation, discussing stories from the new book and more.” As for the memoir itself, readers can expect Handler’s signature self-deprecating and irreverent tone to come through as she writes of her life from childhood through today.<\/p>\n The former host’s view on modern politics is of particular focus in portions of the book, given that she spent the last year and a half dedicated to social and political activism. In October 2017, Handler announced plans<\/a> to walk away from her\u00a0eponymous Netflix talk show for the cause. “My goal is to be better informed, raise my voice and participate in a more meaningful way. I want to travel the country and visit areas and people I don’t know enough about, speak at colleges and listen to students, and gain a better understanding of our political divide,” she said in a statement.<\/p>\n While teasing her new memoir, Handler also shared that she has a new documentary dropping soon. Details about that project remain unknown. However, it will likely be available on Netflix as part of Handler’s ongoing partnership with the streaming giant.<\/p>\n I have a new book and a new documentary coming out this year. I took the time to focus on the things in this world I can do something about and I\u2019m excited to announce both soon.<\/p>\n — Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) February 4, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
