Chelsea Handler BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Chelsea Handler made headlines this week with the announcement that her Las Vegas residency Chelsea at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan has been extended into 2026, setting a landmark as the first-ever female comedian residency at the famed venue. Due to overwhelming fan demand, new dates were added for January 31, March 7, April 18, and May 30 of next year, with tickets going on sale August 29. According to VegasChanges.com, the residency has cemented Handler’s status as a leading force in contemporary comedy, with both fan enthusiasm and industry impact positioning this as a long-term milestone in her career. Meanwhile, Handler’s recent run of high-profile live performances on the East Coast drew sold-out crowds; she returned to the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center for a headline set on August 22 as reported by Hamptons.com and The 27East, adding to a weekend packed with celebrity events and premium entertainment. Handler herself posted on Instagram to share scenes from her “laughter filled Hamptonion weekend,” giving fans glimpses behind the scenes and generating more than 30,000 likes on the post.

In another major development, Handler will release her much-anticipated new Netflix comedy special The Feeling on March 25 next year, as confirmed by Rolling Stone and IMDb. Filmed at the Wellmont Theater in New Jersey, the special showcases Handler’s signature candor, addressing everything from her childhood and business misadventures to cultural trends like pickleball with her trademark irreverence. Thanks to such projects, Handler continues to dominate streaming platforms and maintain a visible edge in the stand-up comedy landscape. Adding to her growing list of accolades, Handler is set to host the 30th annual Critics Choice Awards live on E! on January 12, 2025, her third consecutive year as host, a fact highlighted by Just Jared and IMDb. This recurring gig underlines her significant mainstream appeal and the trust industry leaders place in her as a major-event emcee.

On the personal and social media front, Handler remains characteristically open and provocative. In a recent interview with People picked up by AOL, she described sharing drugs at the Oscars afterparty but insisted she was never irresponsible about it, reinforcing her persona as both edgy and self-aware. Handler also discussed celebrating her 50th birthday earlier this year by skiing in a bikini and micro-dosing LSD, sharing these anecdotes with Jimmy Kimmel and amplifying the stories across her social platforms. Handler’s candor in her new bestselling book, I’ll Have What She’s Having, about everything from sexting governors to experiments with psychedelics, continues to make waves and fuels ongoing discussion online.

Significantly, Handler’s recent work and live shows, major award hosting duties, and candid memoir have kept her at the epicenter of modern comedy culture, with her Vegas residency extension and new Netflix special standing as the most potentially biographical long-term developments this week.
