Chelsea Handler, the host of Chelsea Lately and a six-time New York Times best-selling author, brought her stand-up show An Abroad Broad to The London Palladium.
Chelsea Handler, the American late-night host and best-selling author, played her stand-up show An Abroad Broad at The London Palladium in the West End on Saturday 24 May 2025.
Handler was born in Livingston, New Jersey, in 1975 and moved to Los Angeles at 19 to act. She turned to stand-up at 21, after a class of fellow offenders laughed at her account of a drink-driving arrest.
She hosted Chelsea Lately on E! from 2007 to 2014, for most of that run the only woman with a late-night talk show. Netflix followed with the documentary series Chelsea Does and the talk show Chelsea.
She has written six New York Times best-sellers, five of them number ones, among them Life Will Be the Death of Me. Her seventh book, the essay collection I’ll Have What She’s Having, came out in February 2025.
Announcing the London date, she said: “I have never been more enthusiastic about finding love abroad.” It was one of three UK dates that month, and her only one in London.
