"Fat Chance" showcases the former insult comic at her new best. From her humorous storytelling to her lively Q&A with audience members, the no-holds-barred entertainer is truthful, vulnerable, and, most importantly, as hilarious as ever. From her food obsession to her physical transformation with the help of bariatric surgery more than six years ago, to her compulsion to date the "junk food of men," Lisa -- with the help of former "Daily Show" regular and gay icon, Frank DeCaro -- will tell all in a way you've never seen before.
Lisa Lampanelli has been obsessed with food for as long as she can remember. She ate butter by the stick as a child, chowed down to please her Italian mother, and has lost and gained more than 372 pounds over the course of her life. But, you know what they say: when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. And, in Lisa’s case, she spikes HER lemonade with humor, hilarious observations, and, most importantly, real, true, intimate stories.
LISA LAMPANELLI'S LOSIN' IT! is a storytelling show with a difference. A veteran of several Moth and Risk! shows, Lisa loved the realness of the highly regarded storytelling organizations, and has curated her own show, chock full of professional actors, storytellers, and special guests who have all dealt with the problem of “losin’ it” when it comes to weight and body-image issues. So, don’t think of this as the Moth – it’s more like the MoUth.
With a career spanning more than 30 years, Lisa Lampanelli has been a constant on the comedy scene. With numerous tours, Grammy nominations, and national TV guest appearances and specials under her belt, Lisa made international headlines in 2012 when she lost more than 100 pounds with the help of bariatric surgery. The comedian went on to speak with unflinching honesty about her lifelong food and body-image issues, and has since gone from insulter to inspirer.
By presenting LISA LAMPANELLI'S LOSIN' IT!, Lisa is helping audiences and performers alike laugh their way to a little bit of sanity around food and body image. Hey, if Oprah -- the most powerful woman in the world -- still struggles with her weight, what hope does Pam from Accounting, Joyce the security guard, or Lisa the comedian have?!? When you think about it, we have no choice but to laugh!
