Lisa Lampanelli has been described as a cross between Archie Bunker and Don Rickles. To many of her fans she is known as the "Lovable Queen of Mean" because she is not afraid to speak her mind and say what others only dare to think of. She is widely recognized for her raunchy, gut-busting performances at theaters across the United States and Canada. Lisa gained exposure in 2002 when she became the only female comedian welcomed to perform for Chevy Chase on the NY Friars Club Roast on Comedy Central. She also became one of the few white comedians to perform on BET's "Comic View," displaying her huge crossover appeal. Lisa has been featured on Comedy Central's "Last Laugh 2005" and has even headlined performances on the Comedy Central roasts of William Shatner and Pamela Anderson, just to name a few.

Lampanelli is a regular on the "Tonight Show" as well as Howard Stern's Sirius satellite radio shows. The "shock jock" called her a brilliant comedian who will steal the show each time. Stern isn't the only one praising the comedian. The comedy legend, Jim Carrey, has applauded Lisa and said she is not a standup, but a standout when she is up on stage.

She followed up on that successful DVD with her 2007 one-hour special, "Dirty Girl," which debuted on Comedy Central and Warner Bros Records, and climbed up to number 4 on the charts. Not too long after, "Dirty Girl" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Comedy of the year.

Lisa has been in numerous of movies. She appeared in "Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector" and worked with Bill Engvall, Larry the Cable Guy, and D.J Quall in "Delta Farce." Many will remember her from "The Aristocrats." Recently, the comedian has played a more maternal version of herself in the Owen Wilson vehicle, "Drillbit Taylor." Lampanelli is currently working on a pilot for a weekly show on HBO with executive producers Jim Carrey and Kario Salem.
