You may know Joely Fisher from any number of things, but you’re guaranteed to know her a whole lot better if you catch her cabaret show coming to Feinstein’s, the cabaret joint at San Francisco’s Hotel Nikko.

Among other things, she’s known for her roles on TV shows such as “Ellen” and “’Til Death,” and some locals may remember her starring in a touring production of “Cabaret” that came to the Curran Theatre in 1999.

And of course, she’s known for being a Fisher.

The elder of two daughters of singer Eddie Fisher and actor Connie Stevens, and the younger half-sister of actor Carrie Fisher and producer Todd Fisher, 50-year-old Joely intersperses songs with stories of growing up in this show-biz family, striving to find her own way in the entertainment business and building her own family. She even shares family photos. It’s a topic she’s been exploring a lot since the death of her sister Carrie last year, resulting in her new memoir “Growing Up Fisher: Musings, Memories, and Misadventures,” not to be confused with the short-lived and entirely unrelated TV sitcom of the same name (minus the subtitle). Her late sister was known for her ever-increasing candor, and now it’s Joely’s turn to spill.

Details: 7 p.m. Dec. 13, Feinstein’s at the Nikko, San Francisco; $28-$60; 866-663-1063, www.feinsteinsatthenikko.com
