Long ago and far away, funny woman Chelsea Handler made a sex tape. And it sounds like a straaaaaange sex tape. There’s stand-up. Then explicit sex. Then more stand-up. And apparently Chelsea sent this tape around to casting agents back in the day. So it’s not exactly a secret – or something she’s ashamed of. Nonetheless, she didn’t seem particularly enthused about Radar getting a hold of a copy.

The tape, which was made nearly a decade ago after Chelsea moved to Los Angeles starts out with Chelsea turning on the camera in what appears to be her apartment. During the first part of the tape, Chelsea is fully clothed in her work uniform. She begins by introducing herself by name before going into a stand-up routine before suddenly cutting to Chelsea and her male partner engaging in an explicit sex act.

Chelsea, who is on all fours on a bed is naked and at several times during the filming she looks directly at the camera. Her breasts are bare and swinging during the sex act. At the end of the “performance", Chelsea’s partner speaks in a clear British accent, asking, “Did we get the (bleep) shot?” Chelsea looks into the camera and smiles at this point. Then the tape immediately cuts back into Chelsea continuing her stand-up routine in her apartment.

When reached for comment Wednesday afternoon by RadarOnline.com, Chelsea’s rep Steven Huvane said: “The tape you have is an old tape that was done for a stand up comedy bit." He indicated that Chelsea would address it on her E! show Wednesday night, and she did. Chelsea, looking very agitated, said she made the tape when she was 23, and added, "I would like to say to RadarOnline.com, thanks for ruining my surprise Christmas gift to my staff, and number two, it was made as a joke. I put it on an audition tape for a comedy club, because I’m a comedienne, and I’ve been showing it at birthday parties for (expletive) years!" (via Radar Online)

What a strange way to try to get casting agents’ attention. Or – just as likely – a suuuuuper embarrassing mistake. It seems just as likely that Chelsea accidentally taped over her comedy routine, then mailed it out! According to Radar, most of the agents who were sent the video probably never saw the sex – because Chelsea Handler’s stand-up is so bad that it’s unlikely they watched long enough to get to the dirty part. Shame for them.
