It really isn’t surprising that Chelsea Handler, host and comedian of E!’s show “Chelsea Lately” will be partnering with Belvedere Vodka. However the partnership will be sponsoring more than complete inebriation. The author’s latest tour, “Are You there Vodka, It’s Me Chelsea” will be presented by Belvedere.

Handler’s “Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang Tour” will make it’s way to 21 U.S. Cities supporting “Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang,” the author’s third book. On March 9 the new book will be out in stores. It features more candid stories concerning Handler’s family, career and sex life, as has been chronicled in previous best sellers by Handler.

Handling, speaking about her new tour said, recently I’ve made a living making fun of just about everyone in Hollywood. For this tour I would like to take it as an opportunity for getting back to my own roots. I want to poke some fun at myself as well as the rest of the U.S. and Spain of course.

The tour of 21 dates will be kicking off in Chicago on March 10 at Rosemont Theatre. It will close out on May 15 in New York at the Radio City Music Hall. Handler, in addition to doing stand-up shows will make appearances in bookstores to meet with her fans and sign books. A full listing of Chelsea Handler tour dates are listed below.

Private after-parties will be hosted by Belvedere Vodka on Handler’s tour. She admitted on her show that Belvedere vodka would be the only vodka on her tour. Charles Gibson of Belvedere said, last year we were thrilled that Chelsea chose us as her preferred and favorite vodka. As a connoisseur of vodka, her choosing Belvedere is quite a testament to our vodka’s quality. We are delighted to be able to support this exciting tour.
