Ellen DeGeneres performs surprise stand-up set in Los Angeles

Ellen DeGeneres, the beloved former talk show host and comedian, surprised fans with a return to her stand-up roots on Thursday night. DeGeneres took the stage at the Largo in Los Angeles for a surprise set as part of Beth Stelling's Beth & Pals show.

The 66-year-old comedian joined an impressive lineup that included established names like Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman, and Aidy Bryant. DeGeneres arrived at the venue with her wife, Portia de Rossi, and videos shared on social media captured their excitement for the evening.

Taking the stage in her signature style – a moto jacket, jeans, and sneakers – DeGeneres was met with thunderous applause, with some audience members even leaping from their seats. 

Clips shared online by DeGeneres and her former show's official accounts tease her entrance and the energetic crowd but cut off before the actual stand-up routine begins.

While details about the content of her set remain under wraps, DeGeneres left fans with a playful message: "You'll see it soon enough," she teased in the video description. This has sparked speculation and excitement among fans, who are eager to see DeGeneres back on stage after her talk show ended in 2022.

DeGeneres' return to stand-up marks a significant moment, as she began her career in comedy clubs before finding mainstream success on television. 

This surprise set suggests a potential return to her comedic roots, which could take various forms, including touring, specials, or even online content.

Fans will have to wait for the official release of DeGeneres' stand-up set to see her return to form.
