Lisa Lampanelli: The Mean Girl of Stand-Up Comedy Hits Miami Beach

Lisa Lampanelli, one of the most successful female comedians in the business, brought her unapologetically raunchy and boundary-pushing routine to Miami Beach — and if you were in the audience, you better have had the stomach for it.

Lisa Lampanelli: The Mean Girl of Stand-Up Comedy Hits Miami Beach brought the room to its feet at the venue — and reminded South Florida why live comedy is one of the city's most underrated nights out.

If you fall in the crosshairs of Lisa Lampanelli's comedy routine, you better have the gut to stomach the dirt she slings. Lampanelli — Celebrity Apprentice contestant and one of the most successful female comedians around — insults any and all ethnic groups unapologetically. When we found ourselves in her audience in 2010 in Miami Beach, that was made abundantly clear from the very first joke. Stand-up comedy is still a male-dominated industry, but in this world there is only one woman who has the nerve to stand up to them — and Lisa does it with her "Jimmy Big Balls," a name she gave her husband to fit her stand-up routine. The former journalist often poked fun at her husband, and while performing in Miami Beach, he did not escape her. She spoke jokingly about the size of his scrotum and literally ripped him apart, embarrassingly. Although the comedian has an aggressive, harsh, brash, and raunchy approach with her humor, in the end it is just for laughs. Lisa returns to Miami Beach with new R-rated material on November 9th. There is just no shame in this mean girl's game. By: Daedrian McNaughton For more upcoming events across South Florida, visit the Premier Guide Miami Events Calendar .
