Artie Lange to Release Jack and Coke

As news of Artie Lange’s personal life makes the headlines, we have received word that the irreverent entertainer is set to release uncensored material from his stand-up act before a New York City crowd in the form of Jack and Coke (in DVD and Bluray) on January 19.

The man who Howard Stern labeled the “sweetest motherf***er around” is his loveable crude and offensive self as witnessed here, here and here.

Here are the notes from the release:

Artie Lange was introduced to The Howard Stern Show in 1998 when he accompanied his friend Norm MacDonald into the studio. He made such an impression during his first appearance on the program that he was asked to become a full-time member of the cast after Jackie Martling left the show in 2001.

Prior to the Stern Show, Lange was a member of the original cast of the sketch comedy series MADtv. After MADtv, Lange continued his television work on Norm MacDonald’s sitcom, Norm. In addition to television, Artie’s filmography includes Dirty Work, Lost and Found, The Bachelor, Old School, Elf, and Beer League.

In 2008, Lange co-wrote an autobiographical book with Anthony Bozza titled “Too Fat to Fish,” which appeared at number one on the New York Times best seller list under hardcover non-fiction.
