Fans of comedienne Chelsea Handler -- who has made a career of juxtaposing an angelic countenance with frank tales of sex, booze and mischief -- will get a chance to meet her at a book signing Friday at Greetings & Readings in Hunt Valley. Later that day, her show hits the 1st Mariner Arena.
You can read an excerpt from her latest book, "Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang" at Grand Central Publishing. But be warned, the title does not refer to an old jalopy. This is funny stuff, but not material that is safe for work -- or for kids. If you've seen Handler on TV or read her earlier books, including "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea," you'll understand. I'll bet she can't resist some Cockeysville jokes.
Here are more details about the Greetings and Readings appearance and her 1st Mariner Arena show.
