Lisa Lampanelli

This blog post is late but I don't care, I was lazy this holiday season. For Christmas this year, rather than giving me a physical gift, my wife decided to give me the gift of laughter by getting us tickets to see Lisa Lampanelli the day after Christmas at Foxwoods Resort and Casino.

If you don't know who she is you better look her up because she is just awesome! She is known as the Queen of Mean, an Italian insult comic who has appeared on numerous comedy central roasts and even her own TV special.

I had an excellent time at the show and she didn't pull any punches when it came to insulting just about everyone under the sun. I was especially pleased that she did a joke just about Filipino's (I can't repeat it here of course and I only half remember it anyway).

Of course no night is complete without dinner which we went to first. We went to an Italian place (to go with the whole theme of seeing an Italian comic) and I think we lost $20 gambling at the slot machines. No matter, I had a lot of fun playing although I couldn't find the Gambling for Dummies machine. I did see one for the Soprano's but I had the most fun playing a machine that featured animated pigs.

Needless to say we got home really late that night since it's a 2 hour drive to Foxwoods and we didn't finish gambling until around midnight. I plan on seeing her again if I can find out where she's performing. Atlanta maybe??
