Thursday nights heroine, Lisa Lampanelli, is known for self-depreciating raunch; the nights other act, Dave Barry, is bound to find enough local landmines to exploit during his performance. Friday night, Craig Robinson might not be as focused as he is on The Office word is, hes bringing a seven-piece funk band, The Nasty Delicious, into the equation. And what of Saturday nights stars? Lewis Black has made a career out of voluble outrage, thanks to his Back in Black segments on The Daily Show. What could he possibly yell about, mere days after the inauguration? The economy? Middle Eastern conflicts? How wacky South Florida is? Joel McHale, celebrity satirist par excellence and host of E!'s The Soup, will also be in town.
