The bigger the target the more brutal the takedown \u2014 Griffin is masterful in her skewering of the entitled, the oppressive and the small-minded. She\u2019s saltier than a semi full of Morton\u2019s Iodized so come prepared for scalding, topical comedy when Griffin brings her \u201cNew Face, New Tour\u201d show to town.<\/p>\n
The two-time Emmy and Grammy award-winning comedian is 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.<\/p>\n
