Chelsea Handler performed her comedy act to a sold-out audience at Mohegan Sun Arena on April 9th.

April 9th brought Chelsea Handler, host of E!’s wildly popular show “Chelsea Lately,” to Mohegan Sun for a hilarious night of comedy in the Arena, followed by a Sights and Signings event at Spin Street for her her newest book, “Chelsea-Chelsea Bang Bang.”

To celebrate Chelsea’s sold-out performance, Mohegan Sun’s Public Relations team hosted a private, “No Boys Allowed” party for women in media and public relations in Mohegan Suns’ Arena Suite.  The team rolled out the red carpet, treating the Resident to a fabulous risotto bar, a gelato station, and of course, complimentary cocktails!  Woo Hoo! 

Chelsea is dubbed “the sharpest tongue in late night,” for her wacky sense of humor, panel of comedians, little-person sidekick, “Chuy” and chop-busting  interviews with major celebrities. As a disclaimer, if you are easily offended, and cannot handle talk about topics such as awkward sexual moments, self-gratification, flatulence, racial stereotypes, private parts, or a potty mouth in general, Chelsea is not for you.

The show opens with Heather McDonald, a comedienne, and cast member of “Chelsea Lately.”  Heather is super-animated, and does uncanny impersonations of Celine Dion, (whom people say she resembles) “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” Drew Barrymore, and the Kardashian family, who star in an E! Network reality show, “Keeping up With the Kardashians.”  Impersonating Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashians’ mother who is married to Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner, she says, that Kim is “working so hard, posing for pictures, and blowing kisses!”  Her bit about the Kardashians always ends with a reference to how poor-Bruce Jenner, is always left in the dark, and the last to know, even about monumental events, “One thing we knew for sure was…we couldn’t tell Bruce!”  Hilarious!!

Chelsea takes the stage and the crowd goes insane. She speaks of her love of fat babies, and how she resents skinny kids, since it’s the one time in life you look better fat.  Chelsea, like myself, has no children, and hates whiny antics.  She catches my ear, talking about a three-year old who was at an earlier book signing with his mother. “The kid was wailing, ‘Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy…!’ He just said Mommy 18 times!  Hey, you’re the mommy, ANSWER HIM!  Do you want me to come over and Supernanny his #ss!?  He is three, not six months old…if you have a three year old who won’t shut up, you need to tell him. If he knows what mommy means, then he knows what ‘shut the bleep-up’ means!!!”

On her love-hate relationship with programming for women, she talks about silly movies where a woman trips and falls over a leaf, only to be rescued by a Prince-Charming type.  Chelsea says, “I fall all the time!!  You know who comes to get me?  The bouncer, telling me to pack my sh*t and go home!!” 

You can check out Chelsea for yourself at 11:00 pm on the E! network.
