Getting back to her roots
Over the past year, DeGeneres has experienced and opened up about tragedies she’s gone through.
In 2017, she faced deadly mudslides and fires in California, as well as the loss of her father.
Earlier this year, she discussed a girlfriend she had when she was 20 who died in a car accident.
Now she is getting back to her roots with this new tour. In 1981, she was the emcee at Clyde’s Comedy Club in New Orleans. By 1984, Showtime named her the funniest person in America.
Presale tickets will be available 19-21 June. General public tickets go on sale 22 June. Find out more information here.
