Comedian, actress, producer, writer, media personality, and iHeartRadio podcast host Chanel Omari, from Chanel in the City, will tape her debut one-hour comedy special, 40 Is the New 20, live in New York City on May 23rd at The Cutting Room.

This marks a major career milestone for Chanel, known for her sharp wit, celebrity interviews, and unfiltered storytelling. In this highly anticipated special, she dives headfirst into the realities of turning 40 — challenging ageism, societal expectations, and the pressure women face to “age out” — while delivering a bold and hilarious perspective that flips the narrative: 40 isn’t the end, it’s the beginning.

The special explores:

  • The comedy of getting older while still feeling 20
    • Society’s obsession with youth — and why it’s outdated
    • Dating, career evolution, and identity in a new decade
    • The absurd (and relatable) contradictions of wanting to feel younger while embracing growth

Chanel’s voice is unapologetic, timely, and culturally relevant, making this a strong feature opportunity for entertainment, lifestyle, and pop culture audiences.

Adding to the excitement, the taping will also include surprise celebrity appearances and special guests, which will only be revealed live at the event — creating a true insider, must-attend moment.
