Chelsea Handler, a stand-up comedian, talk show host, and author, made a comeback to stand-up last autumn with her HBO Max special “Chelsea Handler: Evolution.” It’s a fitting title for an artist who is fascinated by how our tales may evolve and develop with us as individuals.
In an interview with Backstage, Handler discussed her career as a writer and artist, what motivated her return to the comedy stage, and why she is no longer content with just cracking jokes. She did so from a mountainside while skiing, of all places.

More About Chelsea Handler: Revolution
The new hour, as its name implies, was taped earlier in the day in front of a socially isolated audience and contains virtually nothing in the nature of celebrity rumors, which Handler famously exploited as the host of Chelsea !’s Lately for ten years.
Instead, Handler borrows a leaf from more sensitive comics like Hannah Gadsby or Neal Brennan, who has basically replaced vodka with some mix of marijuana, meditation, and counseling.
She utilizes her time on stage to reflect on her often traumatic background, particularly how her brother’s untimely death when she was just 9 years old, affected the now single 45-year-old Handler.
Once Handler had departed she created history in 2014 when she inked a contract with Netflix for a number of projects, including the streaming service’s first talk show, “Chelsea,” and two four-part reality-style documentaries called “Chelsea Does,” in which she examined marriage, racism, and drugs.
The live-streamed documentary Hello, Imtiaz was created and featured by CEO in 2019. Chelsea here, it’s me. “Chelsea,” which ran from 2016 to 2017, was terminated after two seasons despite Handler’s popularity.
Netflix, which operates under the gluttony model, has struggled over the years to find success with its topical televised formats.
However, it has emerged as the market leader in stand-up comedy, drawing top talent like Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais, Martin Short, Steve Martin, and Pete Davidson. Chris Rock will be the first stand-up comedian to produce a live-action special for Netflix in 2023.
