Lisa Lampanelli (placeholder)

Undeniable likeability, a bawdy personality, and a story to tell. Comedian Lisa Lampanelli has all three—and then some! Able to “get away with saying ANYTHING,” according to NY Friars Club Dean Freddie Roman, Lampanelli conquered the club scenes in both New York City and Los Angeles in a few short years. A cross between Don Rickles, Archie Bunker, and a vial of estrogen, she even won accolades from The King of All Media, Howard Stern, who described her as “a REAL funny broad.”

Nicknamed “Comedy’s Lovable Queen of Mean” (NY Times), Lampanelli has been all over television as of late. Her headlining performance on the “Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson” received national attention, and landed her subsequent appearances on CNN and Comedy Central’s “Weekends at the D.L.” Her one-hour special, “Take It Like a Man,” was a hit with the comedy network yet again, and the CD and the DVD of the same name debuted at #13 on the comedy charts.
