Join Iliza for a rare, limited-run where she works out brand-new material in real time. Raw Materials is her own workshop where comics can test ideas, take risks, and try the freshest material with zero expectations. Each show features a secret lineup of standout comedians dropping in to do the same.

No polished sets, just raw comedy and a lot of fun.

 

Iliza Shlesinger has cemented herself as one of the world’s premiere stand-up comedians. In March 2025, Shlesinger released 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 recently wrote and will star in the upcoming romantic dramedy Chasing Summer directed by award-winning filmmaker Josephine Decker. After losing both her job and boyfriend, Jamie retreats to her small Texas hometown where friends and flings from a fateful high school summer turn her life upside down. The filmed premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival to an overwhelming amount of rave reviews.

Iliza also 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 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, 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.

On her podcast AIA: Ask Iliza Anything, Iliza offers up her unique perspective to listeners, answering their questions on virtually any topic.
