Kathy's Playbill Bio

Please click HERE to read Kathy's bio from her playbill for her one-funny-lady production: "Kathy Wants a Tony." A brief excerpt:

KATHY GRIFFIN (Kathy Griffin) is thrilled to be performing at the storied and absolutely haunted Belasco Theater, where she has already told legendary stage impresario David Belasco’s ghost, in no uncertain terms, to “Suck it.” Ms. Griffin is especially excited to be reprising the role of Kathy Griffin after spending four years as Kathie Lee Gifford in a touring company of Ms. Gifford’s one-woman musical jamboree, Jesus Is My Homeboy. . .

Kathy Wants a Tony!

Our Lady of Broadcast Comedians is coming to the Great White Way!!

For the lay-people amongst us: Kathy Griffin is headed to Broadway! Her show entitled "Kathy Griffin Wants a Tony" will run for eight performances beginning in mid-March.

In a bid to convince the Tony committee just how Funny a Lady she is, she promises the show will be unique each night due to the "revolving door" of popular culture! Looks like she'll be well on her way to completing her EGOT. In other news: Kathy's also filmed an upcoming guest appearance on the CBS legal drama "The Defenders." Can another Emmy be far away?

Break a leg, Kathy! (and Note to Kendall: We need to do a Kathy show!)

. . . So Much Younger Than Me.

So this week our new episode is the Cliff and Kendall-ful homage to our beloved Ira Glass and his cronies over at "This American Life." Last week's show was all about Starting Over and well, as you (surely you did) heard I am going back to college. I feel very Jerri Blank, but then I feel like I want to die. But then I remind myself that they told Barbra not to make "Yentl" but dammit she did and it was fureaking amazing!!! She had to work hard for years, but then she did what she set out to do.

The above clip has nothing to do with Barbra Streisand, but everything to do with my life. Enjoy! (It is shaky and bootleg, but very funny nonetheless).

Mary- The Musical!

Opening next week in The Vatican- it's "Mary of Nazareth, A Story that Goes On." A new musical!! It's the first time that a musical will be performed in the Holy Auditorium, which has previously just been home to shit like Mozart.

This brings to my mind two things: Catholic drag queens dressing as Mary, and reviews with headlines like "Mary, A Story that Goes on (Too Long)" or "Mary Goes On and On and On . . ."

But they probably can't write that about a musical that's been blessed by the Vatican Secretary of State! Below are my guesses as to a few of the songs that will be included:

Send in the Virgins

Good Morning Bethlehem

And I Am Telling You I'm Not Giving Birth In A Barn

Ease on Down the Road (I'm Riding a Fucking Donkey for My Baby's Sake)

All That Jesus

I Could Have Prayed All Night

Everythings Coming Up Moses (note: did Mary know Moses? help me out Biblical scholars!)

Evil Dead: The Musical

Congratulations to the fake-bloodsoaked musical created from the gory cult classic "Evil Dead." It will soon be playing its 300th show in Toronto, and a new run just began in Korea! I happened to be blessed enough to see it a while back when it was in New York and it is an all-around great time! Very funny songs and lots and lots of blood splattering those sitting in the first five rows! It's like a Sea World show, but with red Karo syrup! Above is a compilation of clips set to "Cabin in the Woods," and below are two clips of nearly full songs.
