Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

Stand up comedian, Kathy Griffin will be performing live at  Grand Prairie’s Verizon Theatre on Friday, January 6th as part of her nationwide tour. She will undoubtedly treat attendees to a night of hilarity, laughs, and fun.

Griffin is a multitalented entertainer who is also an Emmy award winning television personality and best selling author.

Her list of accolades also includes her 2008 and 2009 Grammy nominations for best comedy album.

Griffin started her stand up career with frank observations about everyday life and her dating experiences and later shifted her focus to mocking celebrities. Her routine currently consists of telling ridiculous stories involving celebrities. Some may deem her humor as wicked, but Griffin hopes people understand that no malice is intended by it. “I’m genuinely a fan of most of the people I trash in the act,” said Griffin in an interview. “I really, really try and focus on making fun of people for their behavior. I’m not so into making fun of someone for the way they look, or something that’s out of their control.”

Griffin’s stand up routine is a one-of-a-kind treat that will have you laughing all night long. Tickets start at a student friendly $39.75 and can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.com. So what are you waiting for? Get your tickets today!
