Lisa Lampanelli in Long Beach August 5

Lisa Lampanelli, comedy's lovable “Queen of Mean,” will be performing at the Long Beach Terrace Theatre on August 5. Tickets go on sale on Friday, May 20 at 10 AM and can be purchased at LiveNation.com, select Live Nation and Ticketmaster retail outlets and via Charge-By-Phone (800)745-3000.

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.

Lampanelli is an equal opportunity offender and is known for saying things that most people are afraid to think. Her raunchy, gut-busting performances are wildly popular at theaters across the U.S. and Canada. She is a regular on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and Howard Stern's Sirius satellite radio shows. In addition, Lampanelli has appeared on "Lopez Tonight", "Chelsea Lately", and "Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

In 2009, Lampanelli 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. As a writer, Lisa also pens the monthly Women column in Playboy magazine. Her 2011 Comedy Central special, “Tough Love,” follows in the tradition of Lisa's previous one-hour specials by featuring her pulling-no-punches insult comedy and in-your-face humor.

Lisa has also taped several specials for VH1, MTV and CMT, and was featured on the "Best of" episode of Comedy Central's "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn." Her roasts of Donald Trump, David Hasselhoff, Flavor Flav and Gene Simmons, plus her turn as roast master on the Comedy Central Roast of Larry the Cable Guy are the stuff of which legends are made.
