Kathy Griffin Laugh Your Head Off Pressetext Deutsch Pressetext Österreich (deutsch) KATHY GRIFFIN: LAUGH YOUR HEAD OFF COMEDY WORLD TOUR “One photo that sparked a conversation led to offers from around the world. So I look forward to making audiences laugh, telling them the whole sorted, ridiculous, but hilarious story...“ (Kathy Griffin) Sie spricht! Trotz zwei Emmys, einem Grammy, Jahrzehnte langer TV-Karriere und unzähligen Bühnenshows geht Kathy Griffin erst NACH dem berüchtigten FOTO erstmals auf Welttournee. Welches Foto? Ja..., dieses Foto. Ein Foto, das um die Welt ging, nach dessen Erscheinen sie in den USA komplett unten durch war, das ihr aber Auftritte rund um den Globus eingebracht hat. Die feurige rothaarige Komikerin ist bereit, der Welt nun die ganze Geschichte zu erzählen, und die ist garantiert nichts für schwache Nerven. So, LAUGH YOUR HEAD OFF! Über Kathy Griffin Kathy Griffin ist eine US-amerikanische Schauspielerin und Stand-up-Comedian. Die zweifach mit Emmy and Grammy ausgezeichnete Entertainerin begann in den 1980er Jahren mit der Comedy-Truppe „The Groundlings“ und Auftritten im Fernsehen wie „Der Prinz von Bel-Air“, „Emergency Room“ und „Verrückt nach dir“. Ihren Durchbruch feierte sie 1996 in der Rolle der Vicky Groener an der Seite von Brooke Shields in der Fernsehserie „Susan“, die sie bis zum Ende der Serie im Jahr 2000 innehatte. Bereits 1998 bekam sie ihr eigenes einstündiges HBO-Special „A Hot Cup of Talk“. Kathy Griffin nahm an diversen Realityshows teil, so gewann sie die ABC- Produktion „Celebrity Mole“, moderierte die NBC-Show „Average Joe“ und drehte zudem die MTV-Serie „Kathy’s So-Called Reality“. 2000 absolvierte sie einen Auftritt in der Mysteryserie „Akte X – Die unheimlichen Fälle des FBI“. 2005 feierte Griffins Reality-Show „Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List“ auf dem Kabelsender Bravo Premiere. Ab 2001 moderierte sie mit Anderson Cooper die CNN „New Year’s Eve Live Show“ vom Times Square in New York. 2007 und 2008 wurde sie mit einem Emmy in der Kategorie „Outstanding Reality Program“ für die dritte und vierte Staffel ihrer Show „Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List“ ausgezeichnet. Zudem wurde bisher jedes ihrer ab 2008 auf CD veröffentlichten Comedy-Programme für den Grammy Award in der Kategorie bestes Comedy- Album nominiert. Für „Calm Down Gurrrl“ bekam sie 2014 erstmals diese Auszeichnung. Das erste Album „For Your Consideration“ machte sie zur ersten Frau an der Spitze der Comedy-Albumcharts in den Vereinigten Staaten. 2009 veröffentlichte sie zudem ihre Autobiografie „Official Bookclub Selection“, die es an die Spitze der Bestsellerliste der New York Times schaffte. Im Mai 2017 sorgte ein Foto von Tyler Shields für enormes Aufsehen, das Kathy Griffin mit dem abgeschnittenen, blutigen Kopf von Donald Trump zeigt. Das Foto ist ganz offensichtlich fake, aber auf den ersten Blick schockiert es doch: Kathy Griffin hält darauf den (künstlichen) abgeschnittenen Kopf von Donald Trump in die Kamera. Das Bild löste in den US-Medien und sozialen Netzwerken heftige Reaktionen aus. www.KathyGriffin.com KATHY GRIFFIN: LAUGH YOUR HEAD OFF WORLD TOUR Thursday 19.10.17 Auckland, New Zealand Bruce Mason Center Saturday 21.10.17 Sydney, Australia Sydney Opera House Monday 23.10.17 Brisbane, Australia QPAC Friday 27.10.17 Melbourne, Australia Comedy Theatre Tuesday 31.10.17 Perth, Australia Astor Theatre Friday 3.11.17 Singapore, Singapore Star Theatre Wednesday 8.11.17 Dublin, Ireland Vicar Street Friday 10.11.17 London, England Palladium Saturday 11.11.17 Edinburgh, Scotland Assembly Rooms - Music Hall Monday 13.11.17 Amsterdam, Holland De Meervaart Thursday 16.11.17 Antwerp, Belgium Arenberg Saturday 18.11.17 Vienna, Austria Globe Wien Monday 20.11.17 Cologne, Germany Theater Am Tanzbrunnen Wednesday 22.11.17 Stockholm, Sweden China Theatre Thursday 23.11.17 Helsinki, Finland Peacock Theatre Saturday 25.11.17 Copenhagen, Denmark DR Koncerthuset Monday 27.11.17 Oslo, Norway Folketeateret Wednesday 29.11.17 Reykjavik, Iceland Harpa - Eldborg Hall For press requests, contact [email protected]. ### .
