Iliza Shlesinger has been a dominant force in comedy and podcasting… and that’s because she’s never been afraid to stay true to herself and her audience.
Iliza holds nothing back from Dan in how she’s made a career in comedy – the risks and reality of betting on yourself and the often unspoken toll it can take. Iliza also opens up her experiences now as a new mother, including the immense joy for her (“it’s even better than performing”), while also diving into her battling postpartum depression, and how she realized she needed help to deal with the weight of it all.
Iliza’s “Get Ready” tour will be continuing through the rest of 2024, you can get tickets at iliza.com.
In addition to her stand up, Iliza wrote, executive produced, and starred in the feature Good On Paper, now streaming on Netflix. She recently co-starred in Instant Family, starring Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne. Iliza can also be seen opposite Wahlberg in the Netflix movie Spenser Confidential, directed by Peter Berg. In 2020, she co-starred along with Shia Labeouf and Vanessa Kirby in the indie feature Pieces of a Woman. Other past credits include, Truth & Iliza, the limited run talk show she hosted on Freeform and Forever 31, a digital series she created and starred in for ABC Digital. She is a frequent guest host on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Her most recent book, All Things Aside: Absolutely Correct Opinions, was recently released and is now available wherever books are sold. In 2017, she released her first book Girl Logic: The Genius and the Absurdity (Hachette Book Group) a subversively funny collection of essays and observations on a confident woman’s approach to friendship, singlehood, and relationships.
