Controversial American comedian Kathy Griffin will perform in Surrey this fall in a show presented by Outback Presents.
Nov. 8 is the date for her “New Face, New Tour” show at Bell Performing Arts Centre, the 1,000-seat theatre at Sullivan Heights Secondary. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, March 27 on kathygriffin.net.
The website describes Griffin as “a towering figure on television, on tour and in publishing. She breaks through the entertainment clutter with her universally recognized brand of pull-no-punches comedy.”
She’s been in hot water a few times, including in 2017 when she posted an Instagram photo of what looked like Donald Trump’s bloodied, decapitated head. In 2022 Griffin was suspended from Twitter for impersonating website owner Elon Musk, urging followers to vote Democrat.
She’s probably best known for her Bravo series, Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, which aired for six years, starring on NBC’s Suddenly Susan and guest appearances on Seinfeld, Law & Order: SVU, Glee and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
A two-time Emmy and Grammy award-winning comedian, Griffin, 65, is said to be a Guinness world record holder for writing and starring in 20 televised stand-up specials, more than any comedian in history.
Her memoir, Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin, was #1 on the New York Times’ list of bestsellers.
