ELAYNE BOOSLER is a comedian, writer, and animal activist best known for her thoughtful and feisty political humor and her love of baseball and animals which all share a large part of her act. For the past 38 years, she has seemingly appeared on every talk show ever on TV, has produced and written 5 one-hour Showtime comedy specials, written and directed 2 movies for Cinemax, appeared on Comic Relief for many years and on Politically Incorrect over 30 times. She has been a frequent guest star on sitcoms including The Cosby Show, Dr. Katz, Duckman, and Sisters. She is a much sought-after host and performer for benefits, fundraisers, concerts and events around the country. Her name has been a clue in crossword puzzles over 25 times since 1994 (half of which were in the New York Times), the most recent being 46-down in The NY Times on September 12, 2011.
In 1985, Elayne financed her own comedy special “Party of One” when cable TV stations would not let a female stand up have a TV special. The success of that show blew open the gates of comedy for women. Recently, she was the permanent guest host on Stephanie Miller’s radio show for two years and hosted the TV game show “Balderdash” in 2005-2006. She is a frequent guest on The Joy Behar Show and has traveled the world doing stand up from Las Vegas to The London Palladium to The White House Press Correspondent’s Dinner for President Clinton to clubs and theaters everywhere.

Elayne moderated the Democratic Presidential Candidates Debate on C-Span for NOW and is very active in women’s and political issues.

Elayne has written for TV, print and film; a large body of her work can be found on the Huffington Post: www.huffingtonpost.com/elayne-boosler – She is currently performing shows and working on several writing projects including a book that will be released early next year, along with a boxed set of her specials and a new tour. Elayne has been involved in hands-on animal rescue and advocacy since 1996, and in 2001 she founded and runs her own nationwide animal rescue and advocacy non-profit organization, “Elayne Boosler’s Tails of Joy” which has saved thousands of animals and advocated for better treatment of them throughout the world. www.tailsofjoy.net

   Hello and thanks for writing. VIP refers to coming in and being sat early in the main showroom to eat. The tickets are the same. The decision is whether to come in early or just eat during the show. Thanks and see you at the show.
