Balboa Theatre Presents An Evening with JOAN RIVERS 1/15/2011

By:

Don't miss "An Evening with Joan Rivers" as the irreverent, outspoken force of nature takes over the Balboa Theatre on Saturday, January 15, 2011 at 8PM. Joan Rivers is one of the hardest-working celebrities in the world. An entertainment legend of unparalleled accomplishment and talent, she's an internationally renowned comedienne, Emmy-winning television talk show host, Tony®-nominated actress, best-selling author, playwright, screenwriter, motion picture director, columnist, lecturer, syndicated radio host, jewelry designer and cosmetic company entrepreneur, red carpet fashion laureate, businesswoman -- and most importantly, a proud mother and grandmother.

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 solo guest host of The Tonight Show. Her own 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.

Joan Rivers has enjoyed an illustrious career spanning more than four decades in the entertainment industry and beyond she's as robust and hard-working as ever. Joan's unique gifts of humor, compassion, and tenacity have enabled her to triumph over personal tragedy and attain extraordinary professional success.

Enjoy a special evening as Joan Rivers delights you with stories and her humorous observations of people and her world live from the stage at the historic Balboa Theatre. A night full of laughs, guaranteed!
