October 5, 2012 by Sarah
Carrier Fisher, most commonly known for her role in Star Wars, will perform at the Improv comedy club in Brea towards the end of the month.

Since then, she has starred numerous movies including When Harry Met Sally, The Blues Brothers, and Charlie’s Angels. Her comedy act covers the gamut from those Star Wars moments to her famous family and her issues with drug addiction and mental illness.
In 1987, she became a novelist with the successful and semi-autobiographical ‘Postcards from the Edge’, winner of the Los Angeles Pen Award for Best First Novel and later turned into a motion picture. Her fifth novel was published in 2011.
Fisher has won a number of awards for ‘Wishful Drinking’ – her one woman show. She has also received accolades for her work in fighting mental illness and raising awareness of the issues surrounding it. Having been affect by bipolar disorder and addiction herself, she is a speaker in particularly high demand.
Tickets for the shows are $30-$35 and it takes place from October 25 – 28. Guests must be age 18 and over.
