Star Comedian Doing Drive-In Set On Cape Cod

YARMOUTH, MA — There's going to be more than movies at the Yarmouth Drive-in this summer.

In addition to a concert with Boston funk rockers Ripe, live comedy will also be making a return in socially distanced fashion. Comedian Iliza Shlesinger will perform perform stand-up at the drive-in on July 31.

Shlesinger, an Emerson College graduate, has starred in five Netflix specials and has co-starred in two movies with Mark Wahlberg.

Shlesinger will perform live to a crowd gathered in more than 450 cars, all safely able to socially distance themselves from one another. Each ticket will cover one car with up to four people in it. Tickets go on sale at 1 p.m., Friday and will be available on yarmouthdrivein.com.

Shlesinger is one of today’s leading comedians with a fan base who show their loyalty by creating their own Iliza-inspired swag to wear to her shows. She recently launched the "The Iliza Shlesinger Sketch Show" which premiered on Netflix in April. The show comes after five very popular Netflix stand-up specials. The latest, "Unveiled," debuted in November 2019 and delves into her journey of getting married.

In addition to her stand up, Shlesinger co-starred in "Spenser Confidential" with Mark Wahlberg. Directed by Peter Berg, the movie was released in March on Netflix. She also co-starred in "Instant Family," with Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne.

Featuring three massive high definition LED screens and a stage, the Yarmouth Drive-in on Cape Cod was designed to seamlessly present first-run and legacy family movies, alongside live comedy and music and the return of major league sports including the Boston's own Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins. The screens are more than 40-feet-wide and can be viewed even during daylight hours.
