Kathy Griffin won't be canceled anymore... 

After a battle with cancer and a federal investigation that had her on the no fly list..... the comedy legend is back. Kathy and Dan don't shy away from anything as Kathy reveals the terrifying toll of being blacklisted that led to addiction, PTSD, and the darkest moments she never could've imagined, and why the laughter and love she receives from audiences today is (no joke) the greatest medicine she could ever hope for.  With Kathy, there's no holding back so she also shares her stories about dating Quentin Tarantino, her personal "Mount Rushmore of Comedy", the reason her stint on "The View" didn't last long, and why one of the most hurtful comments she's endured came from Andy Cohen.  

See Kathy on her “My Life On The PTSD List” tour, performing across the country with shows into 2025. Go to KathyGriffin.com for dates and tickets.
