Chelsea Handler built a career on saying the thing everyone else is too polite to say, and her stand-up is where she is least filtered. The Beacon's ornate, close-feeling room is a great place to hear a comic who works the audience. If you want a big-name comedy night to start the weekend, this is the one.
What to expect
Expect a headline stand-up set from Handler in a restored 1929 theater with a grand lobby and tiered seating.
Good to know
- Take the 1, 2 or 3 to 72 St and walk two blocks north.
- Her material is adult, so leave the kids at home.
- Buy through MSG's Ticketmaster link to avoid resale markups.
- The upper balcony is steep; orchestra and loge are easier on the knees.
