During the Instagram Story, Handler apologized to fans who were looking forward to her show and said that all of her comedy shows would be rescheduled as per the posted message.

“I am so sorry I had to cancel my shows tonight in Portland and my show in Eugene,” Handler said. “I had a scare at the hospital, and I don't have COVID, and I'm okay, but I had to reschedule my shows.”

“So, I just wanted to say that, and I will see you all when I see you, and I'm sorry that I had to cancel,” she continued. “But I'm all OK. And I'm not pregnant.”

In August, Handler told Extra that she wanted her tour to “bring people together,” which covered topics like “everything that happened during COVID” and “the ridiculousness of trying to date during COVID.”
