Standup comic Chelsea Handler (website) kicks off her book tour today and tomorrow at the La Jolla Comedy Store. Her book, “My Horizontal Life,” (Bloomsbury USA) is, as the subtitle makes clear, Handler’s “collection of one-night stands.”
Interesting that Handler, a comic who stars in Oxygen’s Girls Behaving Badly and is featured on Tonight as a “correspondent,” has lined up four comedy clubs for her book promo tour. (June 9, at Caroline’s, June 16-19, at the Punchline in Atlanta, June 26-27 at the Punchline in SF and June 30-July 3 at the Tempe Improv)
In the course of her book, she talks about a vast array of one-night stands, yet not one is with a fellow standup comic! And, we noticed that Handler starts out a sentence with “I think we can all agree that sleeping around is a great way to meet people….” We can’t help but offer the advice to never again stay in a comedy condo.
