Along with the sound of winning jackpots, over 40 dining options and singing gondoliers, uproarious laughter is now heard coming from Vegas’ Venetian Resort Hotel & Casino.
An impressive rotation of some the funniest ladies in comedy do their shtick in Lipshtick from now thru the end of the year. Performances include comedians like Jennifer Coolidge, Joy Behar, Lisa Lampanelli, Susie Essman, Loni Love and more witty women.
Susie Essman is best known for her role as the tangy tart, Susie Brown on the HBO smash hit, ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’. Audience members will recognize Jennifer Coolidge for her rolls in ‘American Pie’ (Stifler’s mom), Christopher Guest’s ‘Best in Show and Legally Blonde’ (“The old bend and snap!”). Joy Behar (The View) has been doing stand-up comedy for over two decades.
“I started performing for my family in Brooklyn and that spread to the neighborhood. I don’t think our material would go over very well in Amish country, por ejemplo, but we should do just fine in ‘Sin City’,” said Behar.
“I love Las Vegas,” said Lisa Lampanelli.
