Lisa Lampanelli at Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall

Lisa Lampanelli is Comedy's Lovable Queen of Mean. Heralded as "more than a standup -- a standout,” by comedy legend Jim Carrey, Lampanelli is a cross between Don Rickles, Archie Bunker, and a vial of estrogen. She has won accolades from The King of All Media Howard Stern, who called her "a true original and a brilliant comedy mind who'll steal the show every time."

This equal opportunity offender is a regular on late night television, and a frequent guest and guest host on Howard Stern's Sirius satellite radio shows. Using her saucy personality and love of reality shows, Lisa has also recently joined Mario Lopez and the EXTRA-TV cast as a guest correspondent.

Lampanelli joined the ranks of comedy greats with her 2009 HBO comedy special, "Long Live the Queen,” and also starred in her one-hour comedy special “Glamour-Puss” for Comedy Central. In addition, her first autobiography, Chocolate, Please: My Adventures in Food, Fat and Freaks, is available in paperback. Known for saying things that most people are afraid to think, Lisa Lampanelli's raunchy, gut-busting performances are wildly popular at theaters across the U.S. and Canada. On a continuous ride to comedic stardom, Lisa has also taped several specials for VH1, MTV, and CMT.

King of All Media, Howard Stern: "L.L.! Lana Lang, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and now the greatest of them all -- Lisa Lampanelli. She's the one person who will be invited to a roast and destroy everything in her path and leave you wondering who could follow her. Lisa will steal the show every time, whether it's on my radio program or on any stage anywhere doing stand up. And don't forget -- she has those iconic initials that all great people have in Superman comics -- L.L. I love Lisa and so should you...a true original and a brilliant comedy mind."

Jim Carrey: "If you want to see real racial integration, go to a Lisa Lampanelli show. That’s where you’ll find people of every color and creed having a good laugh at themselves and each other. No one is safe from prejudice at a Lisa Lampanelli show … and no one wants to be. By boldly poking fun at everyone, including her chocolate daddy-lovin’ self, Lisa releases us from a prison of cultural guilt. She’s more than a standup. She’s a standout.
