Ahead of show in Napa, Griffin discusses PTSD, losing her panties, and returning to comedy with political clout
Comedian Kathy Griffin is once again touring after an extended hiatus, and comes to Napa’s Uptown Theatre on April 5.Kathy Griffin is a two-time Emmy- and Grammy-Award-winning comedian, television host, best-selling author and outspoken advocate. She is both revered and feared for her biting satire, unapologetic celebrity takedowns and off-the-cuff comedy style.
Now cancer-free, off the no-fly list and funnier than ever, Griffin is returning to the stage for the first time in more than six years with her new standup tour “My Life On the PTSD-List,” which comes to Napa’s Uptown Theatre on April 5. Showtime is 8 p.m.; tickets are $50-$70;I was recently diagnosed with complex PTSD. I know that’s a trendy thing to say nowadays, but it’s real for me.
On the tour, I talk about that stuff, because people can relate to everything from the drug addiction to the cancer and divorce. I also just talk about situations that I get into. Like last weekend, I went to Paris Hilton’s birthday party, and I got a piggy back ride from Gigi Gorgeous. She dropped me on my tailbone, and when I fell back, you could see I didn’t have any underwear on, because I didn’t want a panty line! So, I tell stories like that, because I don’t give a .
I do have some stories that I call “anchor stories” and those are just whatever situations I’ve just gotten into. Like Paris’ birthday, where I thought I was gonna go and be among celebrities and feel like I was on the A-list, and instead I ended up bottoms up on my tailbone without my underpants on! Or, I have this one story about going to Mexico on vacation with Sia, and everything on the trip went wrong. It was like Lucy and Ethel go to Mexico.
