Synopsis
Comedian/actress/TV personality Rosie O'Donnell returns to HBO this month with an all-new stand-up special focusing on the comical antics of her growing family, while detailing a life-changing 2012 heart attack, which she felt she survived in order to help educate women in the U.S. who are at risk for heart disease. Taped at the Levity Live Comedy Club inside the Palisades Center in West Nyack, NY, the hour-long special shows off Rosie's skills as a laugh-out-loud comedian while incorporating an important message near and dear (literally) to her heart. Before getting serious about women's health, O'Donnell hilariously chronicles the headaches and joys of raising five children, who range in age from 15 months to 18; her continued infatuation with Barbra Streisand; the second chance she got at romance with her current wife Michelle; and everything in between. Equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and touchingly personal, Rosie O'Donnell: A Heartfelt Stand Up entertains and informs, underscoring the fundamental message that "knowledge is power," especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
