Whitney Cummings returns to her one true love, stand-up, when her new special, "Whitney Cummings: I Love You," premieres on Comedy Central on Saturday, June 28 at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT. For eager fans who can't wait for Cummings' new material, the special will be available on June 23, almost a full week ahead of the on-air premiere, on CC: Stand-Up Direct (http://direct.cc.com).

In her second one-hour Comedy Central special, taped at the Barclay Theatre in Irvine, CA, Cummings shares brutally honest insights about love and relationships, covering everything from what real org*sms look like to her frustration at men calling women "crazy." In front of a packed audience, she dissects her recent breakup, her TV show, and the troubling voices in her head.

The Comedy Central App will offer fans, who sign in via their cable or satellite provider, the special on June 29. They will also have access to a treasure trove of additional content from the #1 brand in comedy. The Comedy Central app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is available for free on the App Store or at AppStore.com/cc.

"Whitney Cummings: I Love You" extended and uncensored edition will be available on download to own platforms, and on July 1 the "Whitney Cummings: I Love You" digital album will be available at major retailers including iTunes and Amazon MP3.

Leading up to the on-air premiere, Comedy Central Stand-Up will feature preview clips from the special, including a "Comedy Central Re-Animated" clip produced by CC:Studios, with animation by Titmouse. Cummings will also take part in a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" Q&A in the week leading up to the on-air premiere, and fans can follow her on Twitter at @WhitneyCummings.
