Kathy Griffin - Suckin' It for the Holidays


'Suckin' It For The Holidays', the scathing new comedy CD for all seasons from stand-up provocateur Kathy Griffin, will be in stores Tuesday, November 3 and Kathy herself will be in Denver at the Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre on November 20.

Recorded live during Kathy's sold-out show at the Borgota Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey on June 6, 2009, the 'Suckin' It For The Holidays' CD arrives tastefully packaged with a full-color booklet filled with seasonal cheesecake featuring Kathy Griffin and Santa Claus in a winter wonderland.

"'Suckin' It For The Holidays' is my holiday gift to Grammy voters," said Kathy Griffin. "It gives them a second chance to do the right thing this year at Best Comedy Album time. The Emmys on my mantle are dying to hang out with a real Grammy."

A stand-up comedy tour de force, 'Suckin' It For The Holidays' provides an acerbic analysis of the celebrities and public figures, both awesome and terrifying, that provide fuel and fodder for Griffin's preoccupations and observations. On her new album, Kathy Griffin provides iconoclastic takes on Katie Couric, Maya Angelou, Suze Orman, Justin Timberlake, T.I., Donald Trump, the Real Housewives, Heidi and Spencer, her own mother and much more.

'Suckin' It For The Holidays' is Kathy Griffin's much-awaited successor to 2008's 'For Your Consideration', which earned her Best Comedy Album Grammy nomination. Kathy became the first female comedian ever to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top Comedy Albums chart.
