It was announced today, 13th November, US stand-up Iliza Shlesinger will return to London with an exclusive performance with her brand-new show ‘Iliza: The Forever Tour’ following multiple sold-out, critically-acclaimed UK runs which had extra dates added due to overwhelming demand for tickets.

Tickets go on pre-sale at 10am on Thursday 14th November exclusively from Eventim Apollo, with general sale at 10am on Friday 15th November at iliza.com.
The news arrives as the hotly anticipated premiere of her 5th Netflix stand-up special Unveiled, which delves into her journey of getting married, is set to land on 19th November. Iliza’s debut one-hour comedy special, War Paint, reached number 1 on the iTunes charts and was named one of its Top 10 Albums of 2013.

Iliza’s dedicated fan base show their loyalty by creating their own Iliza inspired swag to wear to her shows.

Away from the stage, Iliza released her first book Girl Logic: The Genius and the Absurdity (Hachette Book Group), a subversive collection of essays and observations on a confident woman’s approach to friendship, singlehood, and relationships.
