Lisa Lampanelli, known as Comedy’s lovable “Queen of Mean,” will bring her Leaner, Meaner Tour to the NYCB Theatre at Westbury on Friday, Feb. 6 at 8 p.m.
This equal opportunity offender is a regular on Howard Stern’s Sirius satellite radio shows, and has appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “Late Show with David Letterman,” “Chelsea Lately,” “The Wendy Williams Show,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “The Dr. Oz Show” and “Good Morning America.”
Lampanelli was also a member of the cast of the fifth season of NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice” and will be shooting her fifth stand up special “Back to the Drawing Board” in March.
In 2009, Lampanelli entered the ranks of comic greats and premiered her first ever one-hour HBO comedy special, “Long Live the Queen,” to tremendous ratings. That same year, her autobiography, “Chocolate, Please: My Adventures in Food, Fat and Freaks,” hit bookstores to critical acclaim.
Also known for her many Comedy Central and Friars Club roasts, Lampanelli has lambasted the likes of Pamela Anderson, David Hasselhoff, Jeff Foxworthy, Betty White, Donald Trump and Flavor Flav, to name a few.
She was honored to serve as roastmaster on the Comedy Central “Roast of Larry the Cable Guy,” and is scheduled to roast football legend Terry Bradshaw for ESPN this winter.
Her one-hour special, “Dirty Girl,” was nominated for a Grammy Award for 2007’s Best Comedy Album of the Year and in 2012, Lampanelli was cast in the feature film debut from “Sopranos” creator David Chase entitled, “Not Fade Away,” and also starred as a series regular on “Bounty Hunters,” CMT’s first-ever animated show.
Making a departure from her signature “insult” comedy, Lampanelli is currently working on her first developmental theater production, “Fat Girl Interrupted.”
