Hel-lo, Chelsea!
Boston-area comedy fans, you’re in luck, because one of the funniest people anywhere is about to pass through our corner of the universe.
That would be the one and only Chelsea Handler, a talented author of humorous fare, not to mention the creative force behind the thoroughly entertaining TV show Chelsea Lately, previously called The Chelsea Handler Show, on basic cable’s E! network.
Her follow-up to the 2005 autobiographical book My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands is called Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea, and it’s slated for release today, April 22.
On Wednesday, locals and visitors alike can catch a real-life glimpse of the standup comedy veteran at the downtown branch of Borders Book Store (10-24 School Street, Boston, MA, 617-557-7188). Handler’s scheduled to sign copies of her new book — which sports a title that’s a clear parody of a still phenomenally popular 1970 middle-grade book geared towards girls, Judy Blume’s Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret — and there’s a good chance her customary banter will also send enraptured fans into fits of hysterical giggles.
The autograph session takes place at 1pm, but you can get a jump-start on the occasion with the clip after the jump. It’s a video of Handler’s appearance yesterday morning on the daytime talk show The View.
Incidentally, the woman sitting between regular co-hosts Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Behar, to the right of the screen, is Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s lovely wife Cindy McCain, serving as a one-day guest co-host. How kind of the camera crew to not show her face when Handler admits she drinks a lot and was drunk during the interview.
Of course, the comic was kidding … I think. And, if you believe that’s salty chitchat for the a.m. hours, just watch — there’s a lot more, not the least of which is Handler’s opinion of red-headed men. Maybe this interview is best for the ladies only.
