Kathy Griffin BANNED From Gay A-List Comedy Event

What's wrong with that? Nothing. She's not funny. And was she BANNED or was she simply not invited?

What Gay A-List event are you referring to?

David Chappelle and Lily Tomlin and Wanda Sykes and Sarah Silverman are brilliant (in my opinion), but why would Kevin Hart be invited to such an event?

Maybe you meant someone else.

Rosie O'Donnell is an A-Lister? And what are dealing with here? Republicans?????

Kathy is not part of the Netflix community.

If Gus Kenworthy isn’t there with his legs spread, is it really an A-list event?

WTF event are you talking about?

I don't find Kathy all that funny. She tells mildly amusing stories about people more famous than herself. We went to two of her live shows and they all run out of steam within the first five minutes.

I think I have to agree with R7, although I'd say the stories run out of steam after 15 minutes, rather than 5.

It's less inconvenient and less expensive to watch her television specials.

How fucking long is this “event”?

Are they performing or signing shit for the autistic?

Does this take place at an airport hotel?

What r4 said re: Kathy not attending. Although I don't know why Trixie is there without Katya. One doesn't really work well without the other, and they both do the Netflix show.

R5 that’s a good one, that’s funny

R7 how dare you, you fuck’n bitch. Are you fuck’n kidding me, she’s a gay icon.

R12 No, you are fuck'n kidding me. Kathy Griffin is not a gay icon. She was simply looking for an audience and decided to pander to gays. She was smart enough to know she would never have broad appeal so needed to find a niche audience. Unfortunately it was us. But there's no reason we have to accept her.

I don't get how Margaret Cho is there and Kathy Griffin isn't.

And did someone mention drag queens? A drag queen is like z-list.

Also WTF is a Bill Burr?

R14 Bill Burr is a biggie. You can find his stand-up on Netflix and (maybe?) Amazon. He's been around for 10+ years and keeps getting better. Give him a try. You might like him.

Kathy Griffin is hilarious.

Kathy Griffin is hilarious - in her mind only

[quote]But Kathy is BANNED - the reason? She is an admitted D-Lister and since this is an A-List event, she doesn't belong there

Or because it's the "Netflix is a Joke" comedy fest and they are only having people who have had Netflix specials or their shows are on the platform.

R16 Proof, please?

[quote] they are only having people who have had Netflix specials or their shows are on the platform.

Kathy Griffin has a recurring role (as herself) on the Netflix series "You"

Mine too, R17, so that's at least two of us that think she's great.

[quote]Also WTF is a Bill Burr?

The star of the Netflix animated series [italic]F Is For Family[/italic].

I think most of these people are not A-. I'd love to throw a brick at Sarah Silverman's face.

[quote] I'd love to throw a brick at Sarah Silverman's face.

In the early days of her stand-up here opening line was

"I just got raped"

R23 I agree. Sarah Silverman comes across as over-privileged (is that a thing?) She's a very pretty woman who chose a niche profession. Doesn't matter that she's no good at it; she's pretty. Danica Patrick (auto racing/Aaron Rodgers beard) is another example. They know they can't be models or actors so they have to find a niche for their average pretty face.

Kathy is a homophobic cunt who built a career on bigoted humor whose punchline was "because he's gay!!!" I will never support her or her comedy!!! WAKE UP, PEOPLE!!! SHE'S AN IGNORANT HOMOPHOBE WHO FORCED ANDERSON COOPER OUT OF THE CLOSET!!! He befriended her to get her to stop attacking him on stage!!! He was a serious news guy; not a pop culture dude like Andy Cohen. I felt sorry for him and she would not stop. She's a cunt and deserves any and all vitriol directed at her. IT'S CALLED KARMA, YOU D-LIST BITCH!!!!

R24 Yep, that was something about her ob/gyn? Or wanting to marry a doctor? It's been awhile so I can't remember the details of the routine. Just that it was ridiculous. And then she accused a comedy shop owner of not paying her as much as a male comedian? The she had to eat her accusation when the owner proved she was never on the roster; he gave her mic-time simply because she showed up; AND he gave her cab fare to get home because she earned zero dollars at the club and the guy she showed up with dumped her. there. Total cunt.

So you saw [italic]Wreck-It Ralph 2[/italic], too?

I agree if Silverman's on there, Griffin should be no problem. No talent required.

She’s mean, ugly, and stupid. next?

I'm so glad we never say anything mean here on DL.

The best female stand up is Kathleen Madigan. She should be more famous than she actually is.

Kathleen Madigan is hilarious. FYI - She and Lewis Black are best friends. No sex, just great friends.

I never thought she was funny.

How is this a gay event if less than half the participants are gay?

It isn't. It's the "Netflix Is A Joke Fest".

Kathy's gays abandoned her for a reason.

Sorry, but she reminds me of the one unhappy friend who wears a shit ton of hand jewelry and moisturizes while venting.

I’m old, but it still thrills me when I can ditch them before they’ve removed half the rings.

Was Selene Luna there?

Dave Chappelle is doing a gay event? The guy who's made a career out of trashing us? Was Andrew Dice Clay not available?
