Comedian Chelsea Handler brings her 'The High and Mighty Tour' to the historic Tampa Theatre.
Chelsea Handler brings The High and Mighty Tour to Tampa Theatre on Friday, December 18, 2026. It's a double-header night with two showtimes—8 PM and 10:30 PM—both with reserved seating, and doors open an hour before each one.
If you've followed her career, you know she's spent a lot of time in the public eye. She hosted E!'s Chelsea Lately for seven years, when she was the only woman hosting a late-night talk show on the air. After that, she did the documentary series Chelsea Does and the Netflix talk show Chelsea. She's also a seven-time New York Times best-selling author, and six of those books hit No. 1. On the comedy side, her 2020 HBO Max special Evolution earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Comedy Album, and her third Netflix special, The Feeling, premiered in March 2025.
The High and Mighty Tour was announced on September 15, 2025, as a spring run that originally went from February 13 to June 13, 2026, before it was extended to close here in Tampa. Handler sticks to theaters and clubs for this one—no arenas on the bill—and most dates include a short comedy opener to get things moving before she takes the stage.
