Whether you’ve seen her on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Chelsea Lately, or VH1’s oddly addictive I Love the ’70s/’80s/’90s series, comedian Loni Love has been part of your pop culture channel surfing. And Love’s signature, smart-ass stand-up recently landed her a one-hour Comedy Central special called America’s Sister, not to mention a spot on Variety’s list of “10 Comics to Watch.” Tonight, Ms. Loni Love will take her talents to the Miami Improv. We recently talked with Love who told us how she switched from being an engineer to a comic, why fat people should eat vegetarians, and why Chelsea Handler is the shit
New Times: Describe Loni Love in one sentence.
Loni Love: A funny chocolate bunny that likes to entertain people…and drink brown liquor.
How would you describe your comedic style?
I like talking about things that are happening in the news, pop culture,
and I also talk about relationships. I think what people get from me is
I am real. I like talking about real stuff and cutting through all the
fluff and getting to the real situation – that’s where the joke is.
When you come to my live show, you never know what may happen. There
could be something that is happening today in the news that I’ll start
talking about, I never have something set that I talk about. It could
be about Mel Gibson doing a racist rant. I’m going to talk about it. I
am not afraid to talk about it whereas some comedians have a set thing
that they do and they don’t talk about situations.
