As one of the nation’s fastest-rising female stand-ups, Chelsea has performed to sold-out audiences at venues and festivals across the country, including, most recently, the prestigious Carnegie Hall.

Although she regularly appears on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, has co-hosted The View, was profiled on Nightline, and has been featured on Today, LIVE with Regis and Kelly and Late Night with David Letterman, Chelsea is best known for her own E! Entertainment show, Chelsea Lately, which airs weeknights at 11:00pm. Consistently the highest-rated program on E!, Chelsea Lately has been picked up through 2012,providing Chelsea with the perfect showcase for what she does best: comment on pop culture and entertainment news while interacting with the public.  The daily program offers a tongue-in-cheek look at entertainment news, celebrity truths and rumors that just won’t die, and other hot topics of the day.  Bringing refreshing new energy to the late night arena, Chelsea Lately is an authentic and hilarious commentary on the celebrity culture around us.
A three-time published author, Chelsea’s latest book, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang hits stores on March 9th.  In the new opus, Chelsea mines her family, her sex life, her career, and her distinctively outrageous worldview to bring readers an outrageous no-holds-barred account of life on the ridiculous side. In addition to her concerts, Chelsea is expected to meet her fans at bookstores in cities along the route of her upcoming tour.
