Iliza Shlesinger has cemented herself as one of the world’s premiere stand-up comedians. On March 11th, Shlesinger will release her 7th special, Iliza Shlesinger: A Different Animal, globally on Amazon Prime Video. An explosive and relentlessly funny hour, Iliza covers everything from shower sex, ugly wives and the ideal man to the truth about the ONE thing no woman wants as nothing is off limits. The special was filmed this past fall at the Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City.
To date, Shlesinger has six Netflix specials including her 2022’s Hot Forever. Her other Netflix specials include Unveiled, War Paint, Freezing Hot, Confirmed Kills, and Elder Millennial. In 2019, Shlesinger released Iliza Shlesinger: Over & Over, her “fan-u-mentary,” which gave fans an inside look into what goes into the making of one of her specials. This behind the scenes showcased many elements of Shlesinger’s creative process and was a tribute to a fan base who show their loyalty by creating their own Iliza inspired swag to wear to her shows.
In addition to her stand-up, Iliza has appeared on the big and small screen. She wrote, executive produced, and starred in the romantic comedy film, Good On Paper, which was based on Iliza’s own dating experience, and is streaming on Netflix. Shlesinger also starred opposite Mark Wahlberg in Netflix’s Spenser Confidential, directed by Peter Berg. In 2023, She played Shay Marigold in the popular MAX series, The Righteous Gemstones.

In 2023, Iliza released her latest & second book All Things Aside: Absolutely Correct Opinions, a collection of hilarious and insightful essays about the exasperating issues of everyday life. In 2017, she released 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.
