The last episode of “The Ellen Degeneres Show” aired in May 2022.
After two years away from the spotlight, Degeneres, 66, is returning to her stand-up roots.
From June 23-30, the whimsical comic will swoop into four West Coast cities on the first leg of her new ‘Ellen’s Last Stand…Up Tour.’
Stops include Spokane, WA (June 23), Portland, OR (June 25), Eugene, OR (June 28) and Santa Rosa, CA (June 30) on Degeneres’ first tour since 2018 ahead of the release of her Netflix special “Relatable.”
“More cities and dates will be coming as soon as I find more darts and a bigger map,” Degeneres quipped on Instagram.
While we don’t know what she’ll joke about onstage — will she address allegations that she mistreated her talk show staff? — we do know that the best way to find out is live.
For fans who can’t wait to see what tricks Ellen has up her sleeve, tickets can be snagged for all announced shows as soon as today.
Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Friday, April 5, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

Ellen Degeneres stand up specials
Even though Degeneres started performing stand-up in the early ’80s, she’s only officially released three stand-up specials.
Here’s how you can see them.
The Beginning (2000) streaming on HBO Max
Here and Now (2003) streaming on HBO Max

In 2023, she returned to HBO for the documentary “Saving The Gorillas: Ellen’s Next Adventure” where she headed to Rwanda with her wife Portia De Rossi to help with a gorilla conservation project.
Ellen Degeneres controversy
At the height of the pandemic — July 2020 — ten of Degeneres’ former employees claimed she created a toxic workplace atmosphere that included racism, fear and intimidation.
Degeneres allegedly failed to address executives sexually harassing female employees and made racist micro-aggressions to BIPOC employees among other accusations.
Once the news broke, Degeneres apologized and vowed to “correct the issues” going forward.
In September 2020, she admitted fault on-air in the show’s 18th season premiere episode.
