Kathy Griffin brings her latest show, “My Life on the PTSD List,” to The Parker on May 15.
The title refers both to her Emmy-winning reality show, "My Life on the D List," and the recent crises in her life, including a battle with cancel culture, and cancer. None of which seem to have slowed down or tempered the comedian’s outrageous wit. A two-time Emmy and Grammy award-winning comedian, Kathy Griffin is a towering figure on television, on tour, and in publishing. She breaks through the entertainment clutter with her universally recognized brand of pull-no-punches comedy. Kathy is a passionate advocate for the LGBTQ community, women, and other disenfranchised groups.
PRIDE THEN, NOW, AND FOREVER

Experience the anthems that have resonated in pride parades and share the struggles, and the boundless joy of the LGBTQ community. Ticket info is available at gmcsf.org.
