Live Nation sent over word that Chelsea Handler is launching her 2011 comedy tour Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me. The all new tour comes on the heels of her sold out 2010 Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang smash tour which was extended three times, drawing more than 250,000 fans in 44 markets and grossing more than $16 million.
Brad Wollack, Josh Wolf and Heather McDonald, friends and regulars on her hit show Chelsea Lately, will join Handler for the 19 date stand-up tour set to kick off on May 10th in Boston.
Handler's fourth book, Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me, is also set for release on May 10, 2011. This is Handler's first book with her own imprint, Borderline Amazing/A Chelsea Handler Book, a division of Grand Central Publishing. The book is a collection of stories by her friends and family about the ridiculous lies Handler has told them over the years. The three comedians performing along side Handler on the tour, Wollack, Wolf and McDonald, all wrote chapters for the book and are writers on Handler's hit show Chelsea Lately, which is consistently the highest rated program on the E! Network. Each tour stop will include a signing session in support of the new book.
