Hey everybody. Welcome to Pink Shade. You guys, I'm so excited about my guest today,

like literally dying. I'm beyond excited to talk to today's guests. I'm a huge fan from way back. I've

been to the stand-up shows. I watched my life on the D-list. I read all the books. And of course I watched the Bravo talk show Kathy and

welcome to the show the one and only idle of mine Kathy Griffin.

Oh I love her she is Idol of mine Kathy Griffin.

Oh, I love her.

She is fantastic.

Mary Payne, you are my dream audience member.

You've read the stuff, you've watched the shows,

all of it. All of it, and come to see me live even?

Yep, more than once, many times.

Many times you're a repeat customer, thank you, so you know that I change up my show every time. Yes. I change

its show to show, certainly tour to tour, but I tend to open the show with

local material where I make fun of the city that I'm in right to their faces.

Good, yeah, you should. Why not? I live in the DC area, so I mean,

Oh, gold mine. It would be the opening in the middle and the closing it would have to be the whole show it's so I will barely get to my act because

there's so much to talk about happening in DC. I, we've taken girls weekends and gone to see you up in Jersey.

Yes. We've done it all. We've done it all. Now, currently you're on tour and the

closest you're coming to me I think is like Jersey in New York.

I went to Red Bank New Jersey and I did Terrytown New York and oh goshosh, one other city in New York.

But in October, I'm going to play Carnegie Hall on October 26th.

So that'll be really special. It'll be my sixth time playing Carnegie by myself, which means I will have broken the record for the most times that a single female comedian has played Carnegie.
