Kathy Griffin Tickets Continued
Kathy Griffin was born in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park,
Illinois, and raised there and in nearby Forest Park, Illinois. Her
father John worked in an electronics store and her mother Maggie
assisted in a hospital's administrative office. Kathy Griffen
is the youngest sibling of three boys and two girls. Her parents
retired to California after Griffin graduated from high school in
1979.
Kathy Griffin began performing in the early '80s with the
Los Angeles improv comedy troupe, The Groundlings. She went on to
perform stand-up comedy and teamed with fellow Groundlings alum
Janeane Garofalo on the comedy act "Hot Cup of Talk", later the title
of Kathy Griffin's 1998 solo HBO special. She has since had
numerous television appearances including a breakthrough cameo on
Seinfeld. Jerry Seinfeld was so amused by Kathy Griffin's
caustic comments about him in her standup act, that he cast her on his
show as a standup comic who makes fun of him.
