Artie Lange Tickets

Arthur Steven "Artie" Lange, Jr. is an American stand-up comedian, radio personality author and actor. Lange is most notable for replacing Jackie Martling on The Howard Stern Show, and as a member of the original cast of the sketch comedy series MADtv. Lange's first book, Too Fat to Fish, was released on November 11, 2008, and was named on the New York Times best-seller list, on November 21, 2008.

He has indicated that his favorite band is The Who, although he is also a devotee of Bruce Springsteen and AC/DC. His favorite book is A Confederacy of Dunces. He considers comedian George Carlin to be the all-time greatest, and immediately said "it's easy to follow the funniest guy ever" when he appeared after Carlin as a guest during his first talk show appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. He has been critical of the "unbelievably positive press" given to comedians such as Jon Stewart and Ricky Gervais, while acknowledging their talents, feeling that their acclaim approaches hyperbole.
