subject: Kathy Griffin Tickets - She's Still On The D-list [print this page] Don't expect anything to be censored when Kathy Griffin comes to the stage this year during her comedy tour. Unlike her Bravo reality show "My Life on the D-List," obscene language and backstabbing threats won't be edited out from her live version. Famous for her loud-mouthed audacity, Kathy Griffin tickets from StubHub can only truly be enjoyed in her original home - the live stage.
It wasn't just her Bravo show that made Griffin a household name; it was the countless hours hosting awards shows, the special appearances and controversies she's sparked that have helped her along the way. Oh, and her Emmy wins, but she'll never let you forget that. She isn't afraid of stating the obvious, whether it's about her album For Your Consideration, which she created just to be considered for a Grammy (she lost to George Carlin), or her plastic surgery. The brash humor that bends lines has continued to get Griffin as far from the D-list as she could have ever hoped, but after six years and critical acclaim, why stop now?
No one is safe from the Griffin fire, particularly her alcoholic mother, who is Griffin's counterpart in the show and constant topic on stage. "We will be giving Maggie [Griffin] updates, because if there's one thing I've learned, people like me, but they really love my mother," she said to the Miami.com. Other than that, Griffin likes to keep her topics as up to date as possible. "I love any kind of scandal. It was nothing but a pleasure for me to be called 'scum' by Elizabeth [Hasselbeck] because actually my ratings for 'My Life on the D-List' went up 19 perfect after that," Griffin said, referencing the comments she made about Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown's daughters.
While the verdict might still be out as to whether the former "Suddenly Susan" actress is still on the D-list, whether you're a comedy fan or not, chances are this fiery redhead has gotten your attention at some point. After years working in Los Angeles with the improv troupe the Groudlings, Griffin brought her personal life to center stage when she tried standup. "I did an amateur night at the Comedy Store, and this weird thing happened. It's gamblers first luck that the first set I ever did, I killed. Then I thought, OK, I'm a stand-up comedian. Then I went back to clubs and bombed for years," she said last June in Bust Magazine.
Griffin has been 'killing it' on stage since, however, with a handful of Comedy Central and HBO specials and her own Bravo show. She has also seen four Bravo specials, "Kathy Griffin...Is Not Nicole Kidman," "Strong Black Woman," "Allegedly," and "Everybody Can Suck It," all of which were turned into a DVD/ CD combination. She has also starred in a number of Hollywood productions including the 1996 hit The Cable Guy, Muppets from Space and others. If you've loved her reality show work (like in "Celebrity Mole" and "Average Joe"), then you're going to love her standup comedy. Pick up Kathy Griffin tickets today.
