The Nasty Show (2015) is a sizzling comedy show that features a handpicked lineup of some of the most audacious humorists in the comedy industry. Starring Artie Lange, Mike Ward, Jimmy Carr, Mike Wilmot, Gina Yashere, Luenell, and Gilbert Gottfried, The Nasty Show presents a quintessential display of wit, charm, and unapologetic grit.

Artie Lange, most known for his work on the Howard Stern Show and his recurring role on MADtv, ignites the stage with his caustic humor and bawdy wit. Lange's style of comedy has been characterized as ‘barroom' humor and is executed with distinct edge in The Nasty Show. He uses a unique twist of observational humor and personal anecdotes to deliver jokes that are sharp and laced with biting satire.

Following up on the stage is Mike Ward, forecast by some as Canada's most controversial comedian. He brings an audaciously unapologetic brand of humor which has drawn both critical acclaims as well as widespread notoriety. Known for his tendencies to delve into the most uncomfortable topics, Ward introduces an element of shock value that stays with the viewers long after the curtain falls.

Next up is British funnyman Jimmy Carr, who is famously known for his uproarious one-liners and dark humor. Carr’s performance in The Nasty Show is a testament to his reputation as an architect of the laugh-out-loud punch line, giving the audience just enough time to catch their breath before he delivers another perfectly timed witticism.

Mike Wilmot brings a different flavor to the mix, with his quick wit and a style that mixes social commentary with anecdotal humor, sprinkling in just the right amount of off-color jokes to keep the audience on their toes. His low-key delivery combined with his deadpan humor ushers in a perfect contrast to the more brash comedy styles delivered by his fellow presenters.

Gina Yashere, originally from Britain and of Nigerian descent, brings a culturally diverse perspective to the table. Emphasizing her unique experiences as a woman of color living in America, Gina's humor draws from her own life experiences, weaving in intricate tales of culture clash and personal reinvention, making the audience roar with laughter while thoughtfully pondering her insights.

Also making her mark on the stage is Luenell, a female comic who commands respect with her fierce and groundbreaking performances. Her brand of comedy which dissects societal norms with a critical eye provides both humor and perspective for anyone open to it. She bares her opinions boldly and unabashedly, and her participation in The Nasty Show adds diversity and depth to the lineup.

Lastly, to wrap things up, the legendary voice of comedy, Gilbert Gottfried, joins the show with his signature squawking voice and brutally honest wit. His distinct style of humor, which demands attention and strikes a chord with viewers, blends beautifully into the collective comedy woven into The Nasty Show.

Together, they invite the audience into a world of humor where limits are pushed, boundaries are blurred, and nothing is off-limits. Reflecting the title, the comedic content leans towards the bawdy and R-rated, making it an adventurous exploration for audiences who appreciate edgier types of humor.

However, the brilliance of the show lies not just in the delivery of these captivating performances, but also in its clever staging, the comic timing, and the wildly different styles of humor that each comedian brings to the table. The result of this mix is a highly entertaining, hilarious, and occasionally, shocking showcase of wit and comedic skill.
