ROSEANNE BARR TO PERFORM AT THE FOX THEATRE MAY 19

(DETROIT – January 22, 2019) – Comedy superstar, award-winning actress, best-selling author, 2012 presidential candidate and the original domestic goddess, Roseanne Barr will perform her stand-up comedy in select U.S. cities in 2019, including a date at the Fox Theatre in The District Detroit on Sunday, May 19 at 7 p.m.

Tickets (starting at $25) go on sale Friday, January 25 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at 313Presents.com, the Fox Theatre and Little Caesars Arena XFINITY box offices and Ticketmaster.com. To charge tickets by phone, call (800) 745-3000.

With more than 30 years of making audiences laugh, it’s safe to say Roseanne Barr has single-handedly re-landscaped the medium of comedy forever. The New York Times said that “her greatest asset is her gravitational pull, a force that enchants while holding things, and people, at a comfortable distance. It is the power of a whole planet, pulling everything around it inexorably into its orbit.”

She began her career as a stand-up comedian, turning her experiences as a wife and mother into a hilarious comedy act that audiences couldn't resist. She subsequently produced and starred on her own hit sitcom, "Roseanne," which ran for nine seasons and averaged a staggering 30 million viewers each week.

A titan in the world of stand-up comedy, Roseanne returned to her love for live performance, and last year toured select cities in Canada. The Toronto Star wrote, “Roseanne’s act was wide-ranging, exhilarating, occasionally exasperating, intermittently shocking (in both good and bad ways) and, most encouragingly for one of the greatest stand-up comics of all time, just preposterously funny.”
