      Audience Member Absolutely positively one of the funniest stand-up performances I have ever watched! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Great joke writer but far better on roasts where she has a specific target, (as opposed to hitting on every gay and race joke in the book in this special). I mean, it's standup comedy, she joking, so I'm not offended by it, but at some point they do start to seem like a crutch. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member How does Lisa Lampanelli go out in public after this HBO special?! With a bag over her head? Her over the top offensive humor is great, but this routine may be too much. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Laughed my ass off... available for stream on Netflix, watch it! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member She was very funny all the way throw she funny lady for sure Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
