Iliza
Shlesinger is Back in Action and
brings her comedy tour to New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC)
in Newark on Friday, August 19, at 7 p.m.
When the world came to a halt two years ago, most people took the
time to relax and recharge — taking a step back from the hustle to
enjoy time at home. Iliza Shlesinger is not most people. The
award-winning comedian and actress took the past two years by storm —
releasing a book, a cookbook, two movies, as well as a drive-in
comedy tour. But she is just getting started.
Shlesinger caught her big break in comedy after winning the 2008
season of NBC's Last Comic Standing. Since then, she has produced
five Netflix specials and sold-out venues worldwide. She has written
and starred in several films and TV shows, including Netflix's
Spenser Confidential alongside Mark Wahlberg and her "mostly
true" film Good on Paper. She is also the host of the hilarious
podcast, Ask Iliza Anything.
Iliza is one of today's leading comedians with a fan base who show
their loyalty by creating their own Iliza inspired swag to wear to
her shows. Her 5th Netflix stand-up special, UnVeiled, premiered in
November 2019 and delved into her marriage journey. Her past specials
include Confirmed Kills, Freezing Hot, and War Paint. Her previous
Netflix special, 2018's Elder Millennial, is the subject of Iliza
Shlesinger: Over & Over, her "fan-u-mentary" which is
currently streaming and gives fans an inside look into what goes into
the making of one of her specials.
On the acting front, Iliza starred in two major films in 2020:
Spenser Confidential opposite Mark Wahlberg & directed by Peter
Berg, and Pieces of a Woman opposite Vanessa Kirby. The Iliza
Shlesinger Sketch Show premiered on Netflix in early 2020. Her first
book, Girl Logic: The Genius and the Absurdity (Hachette Book Group),
is a subversively funny collection of essays and observations on a
confident woman's approach to friendship, singlehood, and
relationships. Her new podcast AIA: Ask Iliza Anything offers
listeners a unique perspective, answering their questions on
virtually any topic.
Tickets are on-sale now at NJPAC.org or calling
888.GO.NJPAC (888.466.5722) or by visiting the NJPAC Box Office at 1
