8 DAYSwhat‘s up with...
8 DAYS: You’ll be performing
here as part of the Laugh Your
Head Off World Tour. It’s your
first world tour and first time in
Singapore. Did you ever think
you’d one day take your brand of
humour outside of the US?
KATHY GRIFFIN: I’m very excited
to be coming to Singapore for
the first time ever. I hope you
guys will be able to handle it ’cos
there will be a lot of cussing. You
probably shouldn’t bring the kids
— it’s not The Lion King. It’s just a
redhead who caused a worldwide
controversy with a photo. I don’t
know if I can joke about that, but
you have to admit that it’s pretty
[expletive] funny. Our accidental
President says so many stupid
things in one day. I want to stand
on stage and tell Singaporeans how
[expletive] nuts he is and how crazy
it is here [in the US].
Who else is going to be the butt
of your jokes at your show
here?
You know, I live next door to
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian
West. That’s built for comedy.
So don’t tell me that
Singaporeans don’t want to
know what it’s like when Kim
Kardashian comes over
to your house. Or how we
call Kanye ‘Pablo’ ’cos he
thinks he’s Picasso. The
stories I could tell! I also
have the cutest picture
of my 97-year-old mother
babysitting their kids ’cos
she was depressed about being old.Kathy Griffin 56

infamous photo of a fake bloodied melon of
President Donald Trump), and on what to
expect in her show here this week (yes, she
will talk about the POTUS).PHOTO: LAMC
