COMEDY CENTRAL� TELLS IT LIKE IT IS WITH THE WORLD TELEVISION PREMIERE OF "MICHAEL LOFTUS: YOU'VE CHANGED" DEBUTING FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4 AT 10:00 P.M.

NEW YORK, August 10, 2009 -- Michael Loftus takes the stage and gets down to comedy business in the all-new COMEDY CENTRAL stand-up special, "Michael Loftus: You've Changed," which premieres Friday, September 4 at 10:00 p.m.

Michael Loftus' wholesome looks might fool viewers, but this seemingly mild-mannered Midwesterner has a sharper tongue than some may realize! Whether he's pointing out the pros and cons of sleeping naked or likening a wedding ring to a mystical relic out of "Lord of the Rings," Loftus uses energetic physical comedy to cynically skewer life in suburbia and beyond. Get ready for an all-new hour of insightful stand-up with an edge!
