(NEWARK, NJ) -- New Jersey Performing Arts Center welcomes Emmy Award–winning comedian Samantha Bee back to NJPAC on Saturday, January 30, 2027 with How To Survive Menopause, an intimate one-woman show blending Bee's sharp satire with candid, laugh-out-loud observations. Showtime is 7:00pm.
In How To Survive Menopause, Bee tackles a topic many experience but few discuss openly, offering a frank and funny take for anyone going through it, preparing for it, or supporting someone who is.
Bee is best known for her 12-year run as the longest-serving regular correspondent on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show and as the creator and host of TBS’s acclaimed late-night series Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. She is also the author of I Know I Am, But What Are You?, a TIME 100 honoree, host of the podcast Full Release, and co-creator of the TBS comedy The Detour.
Tickets are available for purchase online starting Friday, September 18 at 10:00am. Tickets are also available by calling 888.GO.NJPAC (888.466.5722) or at the NJPAC Box Office. NJPAC is located at One Center Street in Newark, New Jersey.
In case you are curious, Samantha Bee was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. She joined The Daily Show with Jon Stewart's "Best F#@king News Team" on Comedy Central in 2003, and later received global recognition from the success of her very own weekly late-night comedy series, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. Full Frontal premiered in 2016 and ran for seven seasons on TBS.
In 2023, Bee embarked on her first national tour, Your Favorite Woman: The Joy of Sex Education, where she completed a 31-city run including sold-out dates at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC (RIP). Her new show How To Survive Menopause is currently touring and she hopes the run will last as long as perimenopause - 2 to 14 years.
