Award-winning comedian Award-winning comedian Samantha Bee is the sex ed teacher you never knew you needed. The former host of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is excited to announce YOUR FAVORITE WOMAN: The Joy of Sex Education tour will play two nights only at the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place on November 2 - 3. This unique stage show will mark Bee’s first national tour with seventeen cities initially booked.
Ticket prices range from $50-$90. Meet & Greet tickets are also available. Individual tickets will be available at www.BroadwayInChicago.com. Tickets are available now for groups of 10 or more by calling Broadway In Chicago Group Sales at (312) 977-1710 or emailing GroupSales@BroadwayInChicago.com. Current Broadway In Chicago subscribers can add to their subscription by calling (312) 977-1717.
What began as a personal crusade to remind everyone that women are inherently magical beings (despite what six Supreme Court justices and your Instagram feed wants you to believe) has evolved into Bee discovering her true calling.
“In third grade, I was the self-appointed teacher of all matters related to baby making and body autonomy to the majority of my confused classmates,” said Bee. “Nothing has changed. I realize that we are all still confused. So now, instead of chasing my audience around a playground, I invite them to a theater to discuss everything that happens to our bodies from puberty to menopause and beyond. It’s a bloody good time.”
Your Favorite Woman features Bee’s signature wit and personal stories in a multimedia event that will make you feel truly seen, like if a hot flash was a live show.
“Before I started this tour, I considered launching my own feminist cult,” said Bee. “Now I can see that’s not practical. What IS practical is being in a theater together for an hour to scream laugh at the volcano of bullsh*t we all face.”
Bee will also be continuing her charitable partnership with Noise for Now to drive awareness to reproductive justice issues and resources throughout North America.

YOUR FAVORITE WOMAN is presented under Samantha Bee and Kristen Everman’s production banner, Swimsuit Competition, and produced by Kim Burdges.

ABOUT SAMANTHA BEE
Samantha Bee has quickly established herself as having one of the most unique and sharp comedic voices on television.
Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Bee began her career performing as a member of the all-female sketch comedy troupe The Atomic Fireballs.
In 2003, Bee joined Comedy Central's The Daily Show's "Best F#@king News Team." Bee departed The Daily Show in 2015 and currently holds the title for being the longest-serving regular Daily Show correspondent of all time (12 years).
In 2016, Bee received global recognition from the success of her very own weekly late-night comedy series, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, which premiered in 2016 and ran for seven seasons on TBS. Full Frontal offered a unique satirical take on weekly news and explores other important stories in-depth that have been largely overlooked by more traditional media outlets. Full Frontal received rave reviews, and the show was picked up by TBS for a full season within weeks of its premiere. In a landscape of male late-night talk show hosts, critics have appreciated Bee's "fiery and fierce" delivery (The New York Times) and have embraced Full Frontal as a "daring, innovative addition to the late-night slate" (Entertainment Weekly).
Bee is the author of the essay collection I Know I Am, But What Are You? and has been featured in TIME 100: The Most Influential People. She is also the host of ‘Full Release,’ a podcast featuring in-depth conversations with the best and rightest of people about how to navigate the ever-changing world and what to laugh about along the way.
Bee and her husband Jason Jones also co-created the half-hour comedy series, The Detour, which ran for four seasons on TBS. The Detour, which stars Jones, was inspired by their personal experiences on family getaways. The show follows Nate (Jones), Robin (Natalie Zea) and their two kids, Delilah and Jared, for what Nate believes will be the adventure of a lifetime on a road trip to Florida, which quickly turns into a disaster.
In 2018, Bee announced her new production company, Swimsuit Competition, co-founded with “Full Frontal” producer Kristen Everman. Swimsuit Competition aims to create inclusive, narrative and documentary television and will develop content for TBS.
