Lisa Lampanelli Tickets

Few stand-ups have made as large an impact on the comedy scene of the 2000s as Lisa Lampanelli. Though Lampanelli's trademark insult-laden comedy was inspired by the Dean Martin roasts she watched as a child, her pre-comedy career was an unlikely one; she was a journalist with

Rolling Stone

. Perhaps some of the brash personalities she interviewed for the music magazine rubbed off on her. She began her comedy career in the 1990s, and that career began to take off after Lampanelli was a participant in several roasts. She soon translated the biting wit she wielded on the roasting stage to a successful solo act. Lampanelli released her first comedy special,

Take it Like a Man

, in 2005. She continued her solo act while appearing in a handful of movies and TV shows. Lisa Lampanelli announced her retirement from stand-up comedy in late 2018. However, she has now returned to touring. Lampanelli still brings her vibrant personality to the solo stage, offering a dynamic and engaging show. Her new act focuses not only on humor but also on her personal struggles and weight-loss journey.

The Queen of Mean: An Exercise in Contradiction

Lampanelli's comedy is a divisive kind. She once said she made the switch from journalism to comedy for both the pay raise and the ability to say offensive words on stage. Her insult-heavy routine is not for the squeamish. This repertoire combined with several personality clashes with other contestants on reality shows like

Celebrity Apprentice

earned her the nickname The Queen of Mean. That said, in her personal life, Lampanelli is an enthusiastic supporter of the LGBT community. When the infamous Westboro Baptist Church protested one of her Kansas shows, Lampanelli pledged to donate $1,000 to the Gay Men's Health Crisis charity. While some may write off her personality as abrasive, critics hailed her 2009 memoir titled

Chocolate, Please: My Adventures in Food, Fat, and Freaks

as being deeply reflective and insightful.
