TV: Get Ready to Laugh with Lisa Lampenelli & the Cast of STUFFED!

WP Theater will soon present two-time Grammy-nominated comedian Lisa Lampanelli (HBO, Comedy Central, The Howard Stern Show), Outer Critics Circle Award winner Ann Harada (Avenue Q, Cinderella), Obie Award Winning actress Zainab Jah (Eclipsed) and rising actress Jessica Luck, in the world premiere of STUFFED, a new play written by Lampanelli, with additional material by Ashley Austin Morris.

Directed by Jackson Gay (These Paper Bullets!), the play kicks off WP Theater's 2016-17 season at the McGinn/Cazale Theater (2162 Broadway, at 76th Street), with previews beginning Friday, September 23, 2016 and an Opening Night of Friday, October 7, 2016. The limited engagement will play through Sunday, November 6.

A bulimic, a compulsive eater, a confident overweight gal, and a chronically thin chick walk into a play and... what happens next could only be told by comic mastermind Lisa Lampanelli. With signature wit and razor-sharp insight, Lampanelli's famously irreverent voice comes to the New York stage with STUFFED, bringing together four women's disparate stories to paint an acerbically witty and ultimately poignant portrait of the insanity of a world that forces women to address hard-hitting issues like: Is eating an ice cream sandwich in the shower an emotionally fulfilling activity? When it comes to blue jeans, should one opt for a camel toe or a muffin top? And the ultimate question: can food and body-image issues ever truly be conquered or are we all just destined to be 'stuffed'?

Below, watch as Lampanelli explains the evolution of the show and meet the hysterical company!
