Her latest work is a raw, explosive, and relentlessly funny hour that tackles modern life with a no-holds-barred approach. The central themes you can expect to hear on the 2026 tour include:
Thematic Focus of the New Tour Material
1. Motherhood and Evolution: Having recently become a mother of two, Iliza dives into the hilarious chaos of "mom brain," the challenges of making friends as a parent, and her personal evolution in this new life stage. This provides a fresh, relatable perspective for her "Elder Millennial" audience.
2. Gender Dynamics and Relationships: Shlesinger continues to be a master of analyzing societal gender roles and relationship pitfalls. Her new material offers sharp, witty takes on dating, marriage, and the subtle—and not-so-subtle—ways men and women interact in the 21st century.
