Tiffany Haddish Gala – July 28, Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier LiveEvents July 22, 2018 2343 The Tiffany Haddish Gala Breakout sensation, Tiffany Haddish, has quickly become one of the most sought-after comedic actresses and performers but she is finding time to host her first-ever Just For Laughs multi-comic gala. With an impressive line-up of upcoming projects, including starring alongside Kevin Hart in Universal Pictures’ Night School (releasing on September 28th) and as the 2018 host for the MTV Movie and TV Awards (aired June 18th), she has risen to stardom from her humble beginnings. Haddish’s journey and life experiences growing up in L.A. have inspired her comedy and sense of humor both on and off the stage. Haddish is looking forward to having a good time with lots of laughs. With multiple high-profile projects and buzz worthy appearances to her name, Tiffany Haddish has quickly become one of the most sought-after comedic actresses and performers. She can be seen opposite Tracy Morgan on the TBS comedy series The Last O.G. (which premiered April 3rd) and will star alongside Kevin Hart in Universal Pictures’ Night School (releasing September 28th). Haddish will also voice the lead character “Tuca” in the upcoming Netflix animated series Tuca & Bertie and will take the reins as the much-anticipated host of the MTV Movie and TV Awards airing June 18th. Haddish is perhaps best known for her breakout role in the smash comedy Girls Trip, where she appeared alongside Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah, and Regina Hall. The performance earned her critical praise from the media, with Vanity Fair calling her “the funniest person alive right now” (7/17) and Vulture writing “you cannot take your eyes off Haddish when she’s onscreen” (7/17). In addition to her acting work, Haddish continues to tour the country and perform to sold-out crowds on her She Ready comedy tour. Her debut stand-up special, Tiffany Haddish: She Ready! From the Hood to Hollywood, was released on Showtime in August 2017. In November 2017, she made history by becoming the first black female stand-up comedian to host Saturday Night Live. Her first book, a memoir called The Last Black Unicorn, made the New York Times Best Sellers List.
