Kathy Griffin Performs Live Comedy Show in Atlanta This Weekend

Seven years have passed since the controversy surrounding Kathy Griffin’s mock severed head of President Donald Trump, but she remains resilient and determined. Despite the lack of interest from streaming services in giving her a comedy special, Griffin is hitting the road for an 80-city tour that includes a stop at the Buckhead Theatre on December 6th.

During a recent interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Griffin shared that she views her exclusion from streaming as a waiting game. She believes the executives who find her too controversial will eventually move on, allowing her the opportunity to showcase her work once again. Tickets for her upcoming show are available on Ticketmaster for $75.50 to $97.50.

Griffin, known for her extensive stand-up career on Bravo and HBO, faced severe repercussions after the photo incident. She lost friends, endorsements, and a CNN New Year’s special, leading to personal struggles with addiction and a brief period of depression. Despite these challenges, she continues to find solace in performing on stage.

Although Griffin has addressed her past trauma and struggles in her shows, she is shifting her focus away from Trump in her upcoming performances. She aims to provide audiences with a mix of humor and storytelling, sharing anecdotes from her encounters with celebrities like Sia and Jane Fonda.

Griffin’s dedication to her craft shines through in her commitment to long performances, often exceeding two hours on stage. She wants each show to feel like her last, giving her audience a night to remember. Despite facing obstacles in selling out venues like the Buckhead Theatre, Griffin remains determined to connect with her fans and share her unique brand of comedy.

Despite health challenges, including a battle with lung cancer and vocal cord paralysis, Griffin remains dedicated to her career and the joy it brings her. She credits working on stage as a source of relief from her anxiety and depression, echoing the advice she received from the late Joan Rivers to keep pushing forward.

Rumors of Griffin leaving the country like other celebrities are unfounded, as she expresses her love for her home in Malibu and her commitment to continuing her work in the United States. Financially secure and guided by financial advisor Suze Orman, Griffin plans to keep touring and sharing her passion for comedy with audiences across the country.
