Kathy Griffin has issued a plea for fans to purchase more of her standup comedy tour tickets, as she admitted that some were "not selling well."
The comedian is set to hit the road with her My Life on the PTSD List tour from Des Moines, Iowa, on February 2, heading to Omaha, Nebraska, the following day…
Griffin has assured fans that the turmoil in her personal life should make her a "riot" when she takes the stage. Griffin filed for divorce from her husband, Randy Bick, in late December, days before their fourth wedding anniversary.
Speaking in a video shared on Instagram and X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday, Griffin told her fans: "I'm gonna be honest with you guys. I had another voice surgery two days ago, so my voice is sounding better, I think. And yet, I have COVID and I'm heartbroken because I'm getting divorced."
After listing the issues, she went on to state that the true subject of the video is "all about the tour, man. Just freaking get me to opening night in Des Moines. And Omaha is not selling well. First of all, there's not enough people there."
"I need comedy fans to come out and see me and Kansas City, come on," she continued. "I need sell-outs. I've been through hell. I've been through so much crap since my last tour. I actually just have to laugh at it. So please..."
After advising fans on where they can purchase tickets to see her perform, she urged: "For God's sake, come see me on tour. I'm coming to 40 cities. It's gonna be the Panacea. It's gonna be the thing that gets me through. You guys get me through, you always have."

She must think I’m nuts like she is.
So the sicko has COVID?
Mask up that mug!
Part of the problem with poor tickets sales is the economy is crashing, the other part is Kathy Griffin sucks
Pay money to become more miserable and angrier? No
What a great idea!
Just ask people to pay you, even though you are a mediocre entertainer.
A brilliant road to stardom.
Ok - all you freepers: send me money now, because I don’t think I have enough.
Trump should buy all the tickets for one of her dates and show up with 500 MAGA-hat wearing Americans.
Then, for her entire set, sit there with arms crossed and not laugh at all.
[...her husband, Randy Bick...]
Was he blind or gay?
She couldn’t make it on the D-list so now she’s begging for money.
Hey Kathy, you couldn’t pay me enough to sit through one of your ‘shows’.
In the middle of the set have all 500 pull out bloody Kathy Griffin heads from their jackets by the hair.
She might have a sudden attack of ‘the runs’.
I don’t think Taylor Swift has to go groveling and begging for people to come to her shows.
How pathetic for an entertainer to stoop to that level. I’ve never heard of that before.
People have LONG memories. Half the country is still PO’d about that photo of her and would never, ever go to one of her shows.
I knew nothing about her until that Trump episode; and didn’t need to know anything more.
Tour tickets or mortgage?
Tough choice.
Hmmmm.
Think I will choose to keep a roof over my family's head.
Best of luck Kathy.
Yep. Pathetic.
No, I shan’t.
He seems content with his choice.
