Emmy and Grammy Award-winning comedian, actor, and bestselling author Kathy Griffin is set to bring her highly anticipated New Face, New Tour to Surrey's Bell Performing Arts Centre on November 8. Tickets for this unfiltered comedy event will go on sale March 27 at 7 a.m. exclusively through kathygriffin.net.
Tour Name Inspired by Personal Transformation
The tour's distinctive name, New Face, New Tour, is a direct reference to Griffin's recent third facelift, which has sparked considerable public fascination. In an interview with People magazine, Griffin humorously remarked, "I got a facelift, which people seem to be fascinated by, and I just want to say I don't know why, but it cracks me up." This candid admission underscores her trademark unfiltered approach to comedy and life.
Promising an Unforgettable Night of Comedy
Griffin has teased that her Surrey performance will be "completely off the rails," promising to push boundaries even further than in her past shows. She described her audiences as "very unshockable" because they have heard it all before, but she plans to say "even worse this time." This sets the stage for a night of bold, no-holds-barred humor that has defined her career.
A Storied Career in Entertainment
With over three decades in comedy, Griffin boasts an impressive resume that includes:
- 21 comedy specials showcasing her unique style.
- The hit Bravo series Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, which earned her two Emmy Awards.
- Co-producing and co-hosting CNN's New Year's Eve special with Anderson Cooper for 10 years.
- Notable roles on shows like Suddenly Susan, Seinfeld, Law & Order: SVU, and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
- Voice work in animated projects such as Shrek Forever After and The Simpsons.
- Two New York Times bestselling books: Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin and Kathy Griffin's Celebrity Run-Ins: My A-Z Index.
Controversy and Resilience
Griffin's career has not been without its share of controversy. She gained significant attention—and faced serious consequences—after posting a photo of herself holding a Donald Trump mask designed to look like a severed head. This act led to her being placed on a no-fly list and investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice. Despite such challenges, Griffin has consistently turned controversy into comedic material, demonstrating her resilience and ability to connect with audiences through honest, often provocative storytelling.
