Chelsea Handler BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Chelsea Handler has dominated entertainment headlines this week with the high-profile announcement of her brand-new stand-up venture, the High and Mighty Tour, which will sweep across North America in early 2026. According to multiple reports including Hennepin Arts and WJON News, Handler is set to bring her signature wit and unfiltered comedy to historic venues like Minneapolis’s State Theatre on April 25, 2026, with tickets officially going on sale Friday. The tour is already causing a stir as fans buzz online and the news is generating major social media attention, especially around marquee stops in Washington DC, Detroit, Chicago, and Seattle. Handler remains a trailblazer, and this tour follows her record-breaking Las Vegas residency at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan—making history as the venue’s first-ever female comedian residency, with new fall and spring 2026 dates just added, as confirmed by TicketNews.
In terms of public appearances, Handler has been all over the podcast circuit. Her candid interview this week on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert made waves as she discussed, for the first time in years, the deeper reasons behind her breakup with comedian Jo Koy in 2022. Handler reflected that differing ideas about relationships and outdated expectations ultimately ended things, but shared that the split was ultimately a journey toward choosing her own happiness. She also teased on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she’s currently in a new relationship, describing her partner as “hot, awesome, and so caring,” though she pointedly did not reveal his identity. The honesty and humor with which she handled these topics lit up social media and gossip columns, with fans dissecting quotes and speculating about her romantic life.
Businesswise, Handler is riding a wave of momentum from the publication of her seventh New York Times bestseller, I’ll Have What She’s Having, which debuted in February and is being described by publishers as a major biographical milestone chronicling her evolution into the woman she always wanted to be. Her critically acclaimed Netflix comedy special The Feeling, which premiered in March, remains a talking point and continues to garner views and accolades.
What sets Handler apart this week is the convergence of these headline moments: a major national tour that positions her as one of comedy’s most in-demand stars, the full-candor glow of key podcast appearances, and her ongoing role as a best-selling author and barrier-breaking performer. From every angle—ticket sales, viral social media clips, and leading entertainment coverage—Handler’s presence is bigger and bolder than ever.
