Joan Rivers Brings Laughs to Hershey Theatre 4/22/2012

By:

Comedic legend Joan Rivers is an internationally renowned comedienne, Emmy-winning television talk show host, Tony-nominated actress, best-selling author, playwright, screenwriter, and the list goes on. She'll bring her own brand of humor jokes to Hershey Theatre on Sunday, April 22 at 8 p.m.

Tickets for this show are $95 (includes meet and greet), $65, $55 and $40 (processing fees apply) and are available at Hershey Theatre Box Office. They can be charged by phone at 717-534-3405 or online at www.HersheyTheatre.com and www.TicketMaster.com.

Joan Rivers is a true pioneer; she created her own brand of irreverent, unconventional comedy and forged her remarkable rise to stardom in the entertainment world. Enduring humiliation and deprivation for nearly a decade playing tawdry clubs, Borscht Belt hotels, and Greenwich Village cabarets, her career skyrocketed in 1968 when she appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.

Within three years she was hosting That Show with Joan Rivers, one of the first syndicated daytime shows. She soon made television history as the first sole guest host of The Tonight Show. Her show The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers helped launch the Fox Network in 1986. In 1989, she returned to daytime television with The Joan Rivers Show, winning an Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host and her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Constantly in motion, Joan continues to work tirelessly and serves as a board member on behalf of God's Love We Deliver, The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the National Osteoporosis Foundation. She also dedicates her time to Guide Dogs for the Blind, and numerous other non-profit organizations.
