Hecklers and those overly concerned with political correct humor beware: Lisa Lampanelli is coming to town.

The stand-up comedian and veteran of several Comedy Central Roasts will perform at Funny Bone Comedy Club and Restaurant Wednesday, May 31 at 7:30 p.m. Lampanelli, whose material covers everything from sexuality and race relations to religion and politics, wears the nickname "The Queen of Mean" with pride. Despite that moniker, she's something of an activist, having famously donated $50,000 to The Gay Men's Health Crisis charity in New York City in response to members of the Westboro Baptist Church protesting her show in Topeka, KS in 2011.
