TULSA, Okla. — Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa will welcome one of the world’s premiere stand-up comedians, Iliza Shlesinger, to the Hard Rock Live stage on Saturday, April 4, 2026, at 8 p.m.
Iliza Shlesinger has cemented herself as one of the world’s premier stand-up comedians. In March 2025, Shlesinger released her seventh special, “Iliza Shlesinger: A Different Animal,” globally on Amazon Prime Video.
To date, Shlesinger has six Netflix specials, including her 2022 “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 gives fans an inside look into what goes into the making of one of her specials. This behind-the-scenes look showcases many elements of Shlesinger’s creative process and is a tribute to a fan base who shows their loyalty by creating their own Iliza-inspired swag to wear to her shows.
In addition to her stand-up, Shlesinger has appeared on the big and small screens. She wrote, executive-produced and starred in the romantic comedy film “Good on Paper,” which is based on Shlesinger’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 2020, she co-starred along with Shia Labeouf and Vanessa Kirby in the indie feature “Pieces of a Woman” and premiered “The Iliza Shlesinger Sketch Show” on Netflix. In 2018, she co-starred in “Instant Family,” starring Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne. Her other credits include Hulu’s “Dollface” and Amazon Prime’s “Bosch.”
In 2023, Shlesinger released her latest and 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. On her podcast, “AIA: Ask Iliza Anything,” Shlesinger offers up her unique perspective to listeners, answering their questions on virtually any topic.
Most recently, Shlesinger wrote and will be starring in “Chasing Summer,” an upcoming romantic dramedy directed by award-winning filmmaker Josephine Decker.
