Unfiltered & Utterly Hilarious Kathy Griffin Hits the Stage at The Granada Theatre

The Granada Theatre Concert Series is pleased to present An Evening with Kathy Griffin onSaturday, April 1, 2017 at 8:00pm. Kathy Griffin is a towering figure on television, on tour and in publishing, and breaks through the entertainment clutter with her universally recognized brand of pull-no-punches comedy. Unfiltered, unafraid, and utterly hilarious, she is a must-see for any stand-up fan.

A #1 New York Times bestselling author, Kathy recently released her much-anticipated second book, "Kathy Griffin's Celebrity Run-Ins: My A-Z Index," in November 2016. The book is an A-Z compendium of the celebrities she's met over the years and the outrageous, charming and sometimes-bizarre anecdotes only she can tell about them. That same year, Kathy completed her 80-city, "Like A Boss" Tour, with stops from coast to coast including a four-night run at the famed Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, CA, and two sold out performances at the illustrious Kennedy Center in Washington DC and the iconic Carnegie Hall in New York, NY.

In 2013, Kathy was inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records for writing and starring in an unprecedented 20 televised stand-up specials, more than any comedian in history. The following year, Kathy made history with her 6th consecutive Grammy nomination and first win for Best Comedy Album ("Kathy Griffin: Calm Down Gurrl"), joining Whoopi Goldberg and Lily Tomlin as the only other female comedians to ever win Grammy awards for Best Comedy Album.

From penning New York Times best-selling books to filling the country's biggest concert halls on her comedy tours, Griffin has cemented herself as one of the most powerful figures in comedy. Buoyed by her dedicated and engaged fans, Kathy's live standup performances are legendary and in a class of their own. Hundreds of thousands of people flock to see her perform sold out shows everywhere from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House.
