Kathy Griffin put our her plea to fans in a recent video posted to her various social media accounts.
“It’s all about the tour, man. Just freaking get me to opening night in Des Moines. And Omaha is not selling well. First of all, there’s not enough people there,” the anti-Trump comedian said. (Both Iowa and Nebraska voted heavily in favor of then-President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.)
“I need comedy fans to come out and see me in Kansas City. Come on! I need sell-outs. I’ve been through hell. I’ve been through so much crap since my last tour. I actually just have to laugh at it. I just have to laugh.”
Griffin hinted the tour will include jokes about former President Donald Trump’s courtroom battle with E. Jean Carroll.
The comedian has struck up a friendship with Carroll in recent years, with Carroll posting photos of them together on Instagram.
Griffin recently filed for divorce from her husband, Randy Bick. She also revealed that she got her lips “tattooed,” resulting in a
pronounced swollen appearance.
The comedian has been
complaining that she is suffering from PTSD due to the enormous public backlash when she was photographed with a replica of the bloody severed head of then-President Donald Trump.
