Ellen DeGeneres, a beloved former talk show presenter and comedian, stunned fans by returning to her stand-up roots on Thursday night. DeGeneres performed a surprise set at the Largo in Los Angeles as part of Beth Stelling’s Beth & Pals show.

The 66-year-old comic joined an excellent lineup that includes well-known personalities such as Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman, and Aidy Bryant. DeGeneres arrived at the location with her wife, Portia de Rossi, and videos posted on social media captured their excitement for the evening.

DeGeneres took the stage in her usual style – a moto jacket, trousers, and sneakers – and was greeted with tremendous acclaim, with some audience members springing from their seats.

DeGeneres and her previous show’s official accounts uploaded clips online that tease her entrance and the excited crowd but end before the actual stand-up routine begins.

While the specifics of her set remain unknown, DeGeneres left fans with a humorous message: “You’ll see it soon enough,” she promised in the video description. This has created anticipation and enthusiasm among fans, who want to see DeGeneres return to the stage once her talk show ends in 2022.

DeGeneres’ return to stand-up is notable because she began her career in comedy clubs before achieving national fame on television.

This surprising set points to a possible return to her comedic roots, which may take several forms, including touring, specials, and even online content.

Fans must wait till the official release of DeGeneres’ stand-up set to see her return to form.
