Playhouse on Park To Present LISA LAMPANELLI: IRRELEVANT!

Join us in August at Playhouse on Park for a reading of the latest solo show from comedy icon, Lisa Lampanelli!

Lampanelli's previous appearance at Playhouse on Park in 2022, "Lisa Lampanelli: Big Fat Failure," helped drum up more than $11,000 for the theater. This summer, she hopes to raise funds and awareness for Playhouse on Park once again.

In her new show, "Lisa Lampanelli: Irrelevant!," the former comedian reveals all about her later-in-life path to find relevance. From trying hobbies that imploded to becoming a chronic meddler to adopting her parents' personae, Lisa will share her humorous take on her struggles to cobble together a life with her career-less self at the center. The ultimately hopeful journey in "Lisa Lampanelli: Irrelevant!" will resonate with audience members who have felt unmoored in their own post-pandemic, post-career, and post-relevance world.

With a career that spanned more than 30 years, Lisa Lampanelli was a constant on the comedy scene. With numerous tours, 2 Grammy nominations, sold-out appearances at Radio City Music Hall and Carnegie Hall under her belt, Lisa announced her retirement from stand-up comedy on the Howard Stern radio program in late 2018 and is now dedicating her life to writing and performing in storytelling shows, coaching comedy and storytelling, and being a general overall bad-ass.

The performance of "Lisa Lampanelli: Irrelevant!" on Saturday, August 24, at 8 p.m. is a script-in-hand workshop event with audience talk-back and Q&A to follow.
