Comedian and Semi-Goddess Kathy Griffin

Oh Miss Kathy Griffin have I waited for you. In October 2008 I received an e-mail from TicketMaster informing me that the pre-sale tickets were available. Oh my! I couldn’t wait so I bought them and ever since I did time (as if to mess with me that fucker) moved slowly until yesterday, when I finally saw her live.

My friend Maggie (no, not Maggie Griffin, Kathy’s mom), introduced to Miss Griffin last year and this is something I’ll be forever grateful, but anyways. . . we are not here to talk about my love for Kathy Griffin (I love you Kathy… call me!) but to review her show last night.

Kathy Griffin took on the stage at 8:15pm, before she took on the stage and Iraq veteran appear on stage, sitting in his wheelchair, he lost his leg because of a roadside mine while trying to get to some wounded comrades. His companion? A beautiful golden retriever. They were there to promote America’s VetDogs , which partners trained dogs to wounded soldiers to live a more independent life. He had some jokes, most about his dog Benjamin; however, for someone who’s went to war and suffered like he did – he was rather upbeat.

Then it was time for Miss Kathy Griffin, who was welcomed with a standing ovation from the audience and who informed us as usual that it was a “night of honesty” – it always is that’s why we love you. She didn’t waist anytime, she started talking about Octomom Nadya Suleman and how she didn’t even remember the name of her first six children and how the new ones all have biblical names: “that tells you she’s crazy.” She also took a jab on her nose job: “I have one and I can’t spot one a mile away.” 

You know how Kathy starts her show, she has to take a quick survey of where are her gays, women (lesbians or otherwise, women!) and the straight man that were dragged there, “you are so close to the Knick’s games and yet not there.” However, she reassured them that they were getting that blowjob their wives/girlfriends promised them and if they didn’t then she will give it to them herself, very humble of Miss Kathy. Then she said the gays didn’t need the promise of a blowjob because: “you’re all getting it anyways.”

If you’ve ever seen Kathy Griffin live on stage or at least a recorded version, you’ll know by now that she jumps in and out of various topics, we went from Octomom and blowjobs, to Weight Loss secrets of the Stars (cocaine and Redbull), to some Grammy dish, to an explanation to the whole: “I’m going to knock the dicks out of your mouth,” CNN New Year’s Eve fiasco (see she thought she wasn’t live and she was kidding around with some guys who were there). 

She also told us her ideal presidential candidate for 2012, Suzzie Orman, “there’s nothing better than a focused lesbian!” and she shared with us how much she’s going to miss Sarah Palin. Please don’t judge her is her comedian side of her that’s missing her, Palin gave her material every time she opened her mouth. 

 

Miley Cyrus, who may soon get a down there virus

Some other of her topics were how people thought how fun it would be to have the Governator and how they’re not laughing now. Some Emmy dish, attacks on The Jonas Brothers and how she also went out with a guy who had a purity ring, but you know how things are for poor Kathy he winded up marrying someone name David and is now a choreographer for Disney! Miley Cyrus and her weird relationship with her dad, Taylor Swift (although nothing bad about her) and Cher (she met Cher! but she still doesn’t do a good impression). She discussed the whole Rihanna/Chris Brown incident and of course the economic crisis. The WaMu Theater won’t have that name in three months, it won’t be either the Chase Theater because how things are going it will only be called: “The Theater”.

 The show clocked about two hours and it was a delight to see her there, I honestly don’t recall when was the last time that tears came out of my eyes because I was laughing so hard. Kathy Griffin, if you ever need an assistant or another man to love you and worship you here I am for you.
