Kathy Griffin Is Back: Controversial Comedian Is “So Grateful” Her Carnegie Hall Show Sells Out in A Day
There are about 20 seats left in all of Carnegie Hall that haven’t been sold for Kathy Griffin’s comeback concert on June 26th. Most of those seats have obstructed views, or are so high up that you’d need binoculars to see the comedian whose career was almost kiboshed for good last year.
What happened? In May 2017, famed photographer Tyler Shields shot her holding the bloody, decapitated head of Donald Trump. The right wing went crazy, she was criticized and ostracized. How dare she do that a sitting president? Well, thankfully, people have calmed down. The decapitating (let’s not get started about Trump) was political protest art. It was outrageous but it wasn’t unforgivable– obviously — since around 2,800 people have paid top dollar to see Griffin return.
The Carnegie Hall date will be the culmination of a short tour– a few dates in Canada to preview her material, then San Francisco, Seattle, Boston and New York. All the tickets are selling fast. Griffin Tweeted: “I just found out that my Carnegie Hall show sold out in a day. I’m in shock. For most of the past year I was convinced that my career was over…I have felt moments of despair that I can’t describe in a tweet. Thank you from the bottom of my heart…I am so grateful”
Welcome back, Kathy! Hold your head up!

She needs to team with Hillary for the “Nobody wants to listen to you gals” Tour.
That would really be a horrible match up. I just can’t think about it.
