Filmed at the hard rock café in Sin city, the much-anticipatedJenny McCarthy’s Dirty Sexy Funny will premiere on Valentine’s Day at 11PM ET on EPIX. Featuring a slew of super raunchy female comedians, including, Paula Bel, Tiffany Haddish, Lynne Koplitz,Justine Marino and Tammy Pescatelli, this one hour show is packed with dirty humor, foul language and vignettes that are not for hopeless romantics or the faint of heart!

McCarthy, clad in skin tight leather pants, introduces the comedians who perform 10-minute skits. Coping with single life and single motherhood, emotional eating, the ups and down of marriage, divorce, Miley Cyrus, online dating, sex etiquette, aging, sagging breasts, sports bras, skinny jeans, being a MILF and a lazy cougar are among the “scandalous” topics.

Marino’s admissions about secretly hating single life are hilarious, “I’m one Adele song away from losing my shit.”

Pescatelli, allegedly a good Italian girl is the cleanest of the bunch. For a newcomer, Paula Bel had a particularly risqué set, declaring “she’d be a hooker but they walk.”

Veteran comedian and Long Island native Lynne Koplitz is a “Zoo cougar” or Zoogar” which stands for a lazy cougar who sits around her habitat enjoying its fake rock. Koplitz in her tightly belted black dress is a thoroughly entertaining handful.  

High-energy actress/comedian Tiffany Haddish (Real Husbands of Hollywood) has a baby toe that’s “dead” because of her cheap high heels and likes her men “old” and “barely able to breathe,” so she can claim an inheritance.  Haddish is the most provocative of the group and was right to listen to her real life social worker, who spotted her flair for stand-up in her teens.

McCarthy says her mission for Dirty Sexy Funny is to shed light on what it’s really like to be a woman by putting everything out in the open. She shows us she’s comfortable in her genre by starring in vignettes that won’t win her the role mother of the year award. Donnie Wahlberg (McCarthy’s boyfriend) appears in her vignette about online dating encounters and plays a range of weird characters from a stoner, a kinky artist, to a Polish alcoholic and a cross dresser.

Jenny McCarthy’s Dirty Sexy Funny is the latest comedy event to join EPIX’s roster of stand-up comedy events. The show is produced by Levity Entertainment Group and directed byJoe De Maio, Jenny McCarthy and Robert Hartman.

So ladies, if you’re feeling a bit depressed or lonely on dreaded V-night, tune in to this one hour special and then head out for a cocktail. You might even end up doing the “walk of shame.”
