"She has been known to do interludes of the Women of Will; short little interstitials directed by noted Shakespearean Tina Packer. Her Beatrice is FLAWLESS.
"To enjoy her show, you have to be interested in pop culture and celebrities." Years and years ago, before the D-List and the divorce, I picked one of her small club shows at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal as the wild card show (we had tickets for other well-established stars that week) for my boyfriend, who knows nothing about popular culture. I had no idea if he could possibly enjoy the show, and even though he had no idea who Mariah Carey was or what MTV Cribs was, he laughed uproariously. She used to have ways of telling the stories that were funny in themselves. Don't know if she still does that, but back then, that was a real strength of hers.
"
Yes, she does, Namo. I've never been tempted to actually watch a show because she talked about it. I don't care about REAL HOUSEWIVES. But I care very much and laugh very hard at what Miss Griffin has to say about the franchise. I also like the knowing way she mocks celebrity while demonstrating that she is a devoted celebriphile. (I hope that's a word.) There's a touching sort of honesty in that.

What lessons ? She is a foul mouth hack. At least Bo can sing and play an instrument. The only instrument Kathy plays is the skin flute. And that's only if she is lucky.

Bo Burnham has more talent in his little finger than KG has in her clit. Ya, I went there.

You have to say something wrong to be proven wrong, no?

I don't get it. you just supported what I said about hitler and scat.
"With each deconstruction an embarrassing addiction is developed and filmed. With Hitler it was sadomasochism, coprophilia and homosexuality. That is, he liked to be verbally abused and slapped around, to have his head urinated on, his chest shat on, and to have sex with men. This made him vulnerable to ridicule by his partners, and mention of it was a coded access to his subconscious, making him vulnerable to cross-purpose."

Are you referring to Emmy and Grammy winning Kathy Griffin who has also raised tons of money for Aids Project LA, HRC, and is helping to make homes for displaced LGBT youth? Because if you are... Bo Burham can lick her armpits and never be as cool. Just kidding. I have no idea who Bo Burham is.. But if you like him.. you should be able to have your thread about him. Just don't poo poo on mine.

I thought you were doing the online "I'll trump your made-up assertion with my made-up assertion," so I deflected by deflating. Had I know you were serious, then the proper response would have been to bring up Godwin's Law. My bad.

She is without a doubt the least funny comedian I have ever seen.

Only on BroadwayWorld can one jump into a thread about a comedienne's upcoming show and walk right into a Hitler scat discussion.
Prove me wrong.

On this site, you probably are wrong.

Wait, Kathy Griffin played Beatrice? Is there a video of this somewhere, because I want to see! It would probably be hilarious!

Kathy Griffin was better than ever last night at the Taper. In a brand new and very immersive show. The topics ranged from Ben Carson, Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett, Caitlyn Jenner, Liza Minnelli, Donald Trump, Eddie Murphy, her mom Maggie, and the Duggar family among others. Her bid about hosting a event with Donald Trump and Liza Minnelli was comedic genius. She did 2 1/2 hours of brand new material and the place was eating it up. She said herself that these 4 nights at the Taper are in preparation for her Carnegie Hall show next week. I highly recommend it.

Trying to decide to see her or not. I don't know anything about her other than she's a comedian. She's really big with the gays and she's some people's favorite comedian. I like laughing? The thing is that this doesn't have hot tix like all the other Center Theatre Group shows.. Is it worth the $60??
