Kathy Griffin Performs Standup at Carnegie of Homestead (Tues., 10/22/24)

Kathy Griffin—who was a member of the famous Los Angeles comedy improv group The Groundlings—first appeared on most people’s radar as a stand-up comedian on “Seinfeld.” In the episode, Jerry Seinfeld sees her act, which he thinks is not very good, and tries to mentor her. Griffin’s character doesn’t appreciate it and turns her act around by focusing on how Seinfeld is the Devil. She parlayed that sitcom success into a strong supporting role on the Brooke Shields TV comedy show “Suddenly Susan” in its run from 1996 – 2000. Her quick wit and rapid-fire delivery helped her win two Emmys for her Bravo show, “Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List.”  In 2011, Griffin became the first comedian to have four televised specials in a year. She’s on many people’s A-List, and is two-time Emmy and Grammy award winner. She has also authored two books. You can see her live at the Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall on her My Life on the PTSD-Tour. 8 p.m. 510 E. 10th Ave., Munhall.
