Chelsea Handler to release first memoir in April

Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Chelsea Handler will release her first memoir in the spring.

The 43-year-old actress and comedian shared plans for Life Will Be the Death of Me, her first book in five years, and a new comedy tour in a news release Tuesday.

Handler's memoir will go on sale April 9. The book explores the star's "Year of Self-Sufficiency" following the election of President Donald Trump, including her entering therapy to confront love and loss in her childhood.

The former Chelsea Lately host will promote the book with the 16-city Life Will Be the Death of Me: Chelsea Handler's Sit-Down Comedy Tour. The tour kicks off April 11 in Boston, Mass., and ends June 1 in San Francisco, Calif.

"This is the cover of my new book, Life Will be The Death of Me, coming out 4/9. I will be coming to a city near you with my sit down comedy tour," Handler tweeted Tuesday.

Tickets for the tour go on sale Feb. 8 and include a copy of Handler's memoir in the price.

Handler published her first book, My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands, in 2005. Her most recent book, Uganda Be Kidding Me, debuted in 2014 and inspired the Netflix comedy special Uganda Be Kidding Me: Live.

Handler hosted the E! late-night talk show Chelsea Lately from 2007 to 2014. She has since hosted the Netflix series Chelsea Does and Chelsea.
