About

Stand-up comedy legend, controversy queen, and incomparable class act Joan Rivers has spent more than half a century lampooning pop culture's biggest names. Whether she's taking aim at the latest red carpet fashion disaster or poking fun at her own adventures in plastic surgery, Rivers never pulls a punch, taking her jokes right up to the edge of taste — and then taking them a bit further. Fans know and love her for her blatant disinterest in all things politically correct, and they'll get another hilarious dose of her edgy humor on her upcoming tour dates.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Born in Brooklyn in 1933, Joan Rivers earned a degree in English literature and anthropology before finding her way to the stage in the late '50s. Cutting her teeth in small Greenwich Village comedy clubs and local theater productions, Rivers biting wit and fearless attitude soon landed her recurring roles on various talk shows, including The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Carson made her is regular guest host in 1983, a catalytic moment in her rise to fame and a precursor to the 1986 debut of her own show The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers. Over the years, Rivers has built one of the most multi-faceted careers in entertainment, enjoying success as a stand-up comedian, an author, a talk show host, a fashion correspondent, and numerous other endeavors. Back on the road, Rivers will treat fans to her signature off-color comedy on a string of highly anticipated tour dates.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"She is like a fine wine - gets better with age. My whole body hurts two days later from laughing so hard. I love that she is constantly updating her jokes to reflect current times, but she keeps some of the priceless classics."

"Just make sure you've emptied your bladder! Joan Rivers will definitely make you wet your pants! Non-stop jokes from start to finish! I was amazed at her energy, quick wit, and never-miss-a-beat delivery!"

"Inappropriately hilarious to be exact, but what else would you expect from Joan? She was so quick with her delivery and current in her material, this lady knows how to make people laugh."

    Very entertaining. She says what people think but are afraid to say. Very energetic performance, she gave 100 percent. I think she is one of the best! It is not a show for the faint of heart, but if you take it all in good fun you'll enjoy it - you'll never forget it, that's for sure!

    Absolutley magnificently outragiously Funny

    by Shiffy on 2011-09-14National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - Ottawa

    Joan Rivers not only gave us laughter and made us feel great but inspiration for the future. Through the evening we learned about her and extended families and found out she is same as all of us, and still is, working hard to make a living only hers is through comedy which she does so well. She had ups and down and so do many of those present at the show and she gave them tools to work with through laughter and kindness. Just like she does. She is on an up and we hope she will stay up and live long with laughter in her heart.

    Joan Rivers & David Brenner

    by Iceangle1 on 2010-11-21The Seneca Niagara Events Center at Seneca Niagara Casino - Niagara Falls

    Excellent performace by both Joan RIvers and David Brenner. We had a fabuous time. Excellent seats, perect audio, just one great eveniing. Both performers were on stage a great length of time giving us good value for our money. Lots of times shows are short and its over before you know it. We enjoyed the introduction by the master of ceromonies and found him full of humour too. We look forward to seeing both Joan and David return to Niagara!

    Joan was "roll in the aisle" fantastic.

    by Goodtimers on 2009-11-07River Rock Show Theatre - Richmond

    Joan was a mile a minute, out of "control" (actually in total control), hugely entertaining, hour and a half of gut splittting laughter. We kept saying " Did she say that?" Loved it!

    A real trooper!

    by WillP on 2009-11-02River Rock Show Theatre - Richmond

    An amazing entertainer for 76! She never missed a beat and was at times hysterically funny! Good show would have like to see more use made of the band.

    Great show. She is like a guilty pleasure. She makes you laugh just because she isn't "politically correct." She was the consumate professional and took working in a tent like a trouper. We had four other friends with us and they enjoyed it very much as well.

    Joan kicks and rocks!

    by Micecream on 2009-11-02River Rock Show Theatre - Richmond

    I don't know how she gets all that energy, but she was so fantastic with amazing timing to catch the audience. It's all censored, so if you can take the taboo, go for it!

    My wife and I attended this event at the River Cree. I was a liitle hesitant as I knew this woman was quite old, 76 apparently. She was full of life and quite a performer, her material was very current and sharp, much of it developed with current affairs. We were very impressed with her show, allthough a little shocked at the crudeness, but that did not affend us, we were just suprised. As far as the facility found it quite basic, a tent basically, dry and warm no problem there, but the seats, fold up chairs way to close together. Time to get a proper venue at this facility, I think they would do much better as we certainly enjoyed the casino till 2 in the morining. Overall a pretty good time.

    River's is a Hit

    by wannabe4u2 on 2009-11-01River Rock Show Theatre - Richmond

    Joan Rivers, Rocked the house down at the river rock, but her opening act was bad. I wanted to get up and walk out the door, then miss Rivers came out and all was good. One thing I love about Joan is that she hates and makes fun of everyone even herself, seeing Joan went by so fast it just felt like she came out then it was over just like that. She is the best and I would go to see her again and again. Fun time for all young to old they were all there for Joan

    Joan rocked it!

    by KayVanFan on 2009-11-01River Rock Show Theatre - Richmond

    Joan Rivers did a great job on Halloween night at the River Rock theatre. We were in row 2 and had a fabulous view of her performance. I can't get over her energy! She was running around that stage like a teenager! LOL. I loved how she didn't care that she was so politically incorrect! She was hilarious! I loved her bits about hating people. I think she covered just about every kind of person out there. I am sure some people were shocked by some of the things she said, but most people there were there for JUST THAT! I also liked her closing where she was a little sentimental and told us all to live and appreciate life and take care of ourselves. She was sweet in the end! I would most definitely go and see Joan Rivers perform again!

    Joan is still the Energizer Bunny!

    by beauregard on 2009-11-01River Rock Show Theatre - Richmond

    Joan is a marvel. Where does she get the energy? Thank God there are people out there who are not slaves to political correctness and are willing to find the humour in dark topics. Joan does not take herself (or indeed her daughter) seriously but she does her comedy. I have seen sparks of her Puck personality on the TSC . She did not disappoint last night.. One topic she could add to her schtick on aging is Depends. I laughed so hard I could have needed the product! It speaks to her smarts that she appeals to a huge cross-section of the population. Joan, thank-you for being a consumate trooper, entertainer, a feisty " broad " in the best sense of the word, a gifted designer, story-teller, and in real life, a bright and generous lady!

    still laughing

    by howling on 2009-11-01River Rock Show Theatre - Richmond

    It was all I expected and more, she is classic. Joan Rivers is one talented lady. (I use the term loosely) I hope she comes again so next time I would get better seats and I would bring more people.

    90 Minutes of Non-Stop Energy

    by DianeR on 2009-11-01River Rock Show Theatre - Richmond

    This woman, at 76 years old is amazing! Don't go if you're feeling sensitive, she's as crass as she's ever been, but that's what we love about Joan. Tell it like it is. Her show is one of those "must do bucket list things." You won't regret it.
