Celebrity Apprentice Winner Joan Rivers to Play Gramercy Theatre

Legendary comedienne Joan Rivers, who beat out poker queen Annie Duke to be crowned Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice on May 10, is headed to off-Broadway’s Gramercy Theatre for a special one-night-only event on June 25. The evening promises Rivers’ newest and most outrageous riffs on Hollywood, pop culture, celebrities and award show fashions.

Described as a post-menopausal Lenny Bruce, Rivers will deliver one of her signature raunchy, politically incorrect evenings of stand-up comedy. She has appeared on the Great White Way three times: making her debut in Fun City, replacing Linda Lavin in Neil Simon's Broadway Bound and starring in a show she wrote, Sally Marr... and her escorts, for which she was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actress in 1994. Rivers is also a bestselling author, playwright, screenwriter, director, Emmy-winning television talk show host, jewelry designer, business woman and mother. She is on the board of God's Love We Deliver, national chairwoman of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and gives lectures around the world on suicide prevention and survival. With her trademark mix of outspoken wit, savvy and compassion, she continues to be one of America's most admired first ladies of comedy. Find out more about Rivers in her Broadway.com My New York.

Net proceeds for the event, which kicks off Gay Pride weekend, will benefit Rivers’ favorite charities: God's Love We Deliver and Guide Dogs for the Blind. For tickets and additional information, click here.
