CHELSEA HANDLER IN TORONTO FOR "CHELSEA CHELSEA BANG BANG" TOUR


Chelsea Handler
Arriving just an hour before her Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang Tour Toronto stop-off at Massey Hall,  red hot Comedienne Chelsea Handler tried being incognito in a Hoodie, surrounded by an Entourage of Security Guards. "I've got to get to my Show, I'm sorry!" she explained to Autograph Seekers as she fumbled through two separate entrances, before finally finding the correct Stage Door.  Following closely behind was this evening's Opening Act, Chris Franjola who has gained a significant amount of exposure on her hit E! Network program Chelsea Lately, bringing that network much success in the late evening time slot upwards of 500k viewers.  In fact, this type of treatment from Handler is actually expected with her having developed a reputation of going above-and-beyond for "paying" Fans.  "I heard she (Handler) was a total Bitch to my Friend's Friend in Ohio too!" one young Woman in waiting said.

Taking to the stage at 9:30 PM, the 35 year-old New Jersey native-cum-Los Angelino delivered her signature brand of self-deprecating humour, venturing frequently to risqué territory. Handler found ways to poke fun about her obsession as a 9 year-old with Masturbation to her distaste towards Angelina Jolie, which she has v. public about in being good friends with Jennifer Aniston, former wife of Jolie's current partner Brad Pitt.  She went as far as to attack Jolie's untraditional naming of her Children, expressing sympathy for them in how it has become her goal to have her Family resemble an advertisement for United Colours of Benetton.

A key element to Handler's routine is how Asian interest groups have expressed displeasure consistently at her jokes.  "I used to speak to them directly, but now I don't even care anymore" she told the audience, explaining how we must be able to laugh off stereotypes.  "Racism on the other hand, is an ugly thing", she clarified.
