Ellen DeGeneres Is Filming Her First Netflix Special in Seattle
She'll be at Benaroya Hall this August for her first tour in 15 years
Ellen DeGeneres is going on tour for the first time in 15 years, and that tour will conclude in Seattle at Benaroya Hall, a performance she’ll be filming for an upcoming Netflix special.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Ellen’s stand-up sets on Aug. 22 and 23 will be filmed for a special expected to air later in 2018. This will be her first ever Netflix special.
The legendary comedian’s 2018 tour will only be coming to two other cities — San Diego and San Francisco, California. The tour will be a total of eight dates.
Tickets for the Benaroya Hall shows will first be made available through the Ticketmaster Verified Plan (whatever that is), which you can register for from now through Sunday, June 17. Pre-sale tickets will then be available from June 19 at 10 a.m. through June 21 at 10 p.m. Any other tickets will then be sold to the general public beginning Friday, June 22 at 10 a.m. (all times PST).

Working with clay, glass, light, and sometimes synthetic hair, the Hong Kong-born artist gives physical form to things that words cannot always hold. “For me, the magnitude of making goes far beyond the object that is eventually produced,” Chun says. “The object…
The Magic of PAX Is Stronger Than Ever
PAX West draws more than 100,000 people to Seattle each year. Co-founder Jerry Holkins reflects on what the gaming convention set out to change, how its community has grown and why gathering face to face still matters.
Access to game news as it was happening was difficult back in the day. Even with the advent of the internet, communication between game publishers and journalists was still a very elite affair.
