Lisa Lampanelli’s deceptively prim appearance and rapid-fire vitriol have earned her the title “Lovable Queen of Mean” — a nod to both her June Cleaver-esque skirts and willingness to approach taboo topics of race, gender and sexuality with the gusto of a cracked- out Don Rickles. Audiences will get a chance to cozy up with her at the relatively intimate Comedy Works South today and Saturday ($40, ). Also funny this week: Potty- mouthed “Full House” dad Bob Saget at the Boulder Theater ($51-$56, ). Read our exclusive “Why So Serious?” Q&As with both comedians on .
“So You Think You Can Dance” has taken its show on a 40-city tour, including a Tuesday stop at Broomfield’s 1stBank Center. Season 7 contestants, such as Adechike, Jose, Lauren and Robert, will be joined by “all stars” like Ade, Courtney, Dominic and Kathryn — as well as Season 6 winner Russell — in performing a number of familiar routines from the show and new numbers created specifically for the tour. ($37.50-$55, TicketHorse).
