    Kathy Griffin thinks her audience is "un-shockable"

    The 64-year-old comedian is set to embark on her New Face, New Tour in November, and she's teased fans with details of her latest show.


    She told People: "It's an evening with Kathy Griffin, and I've been touring so long that I really think if you buy a ticket to my show, you can't act like you don't know I'm going to curse like crazy, I'm going to say inappropriate things.

    "I'm going to go off on celebrities and talk about whatever is in the pop culture zeitgeist.

    "I would say that the folks coming to my show, they know what they're in for. I call my audiences very un-shockable because they've heard me say it all, and I'll be saying even worse things this time."

    Kathy has also promised to tailor her routine for different audiences across the US.

    The veteran comedy star explained: "I start with local material.

    "If I'm in Tampa, I'll talk about what celebrities are from Tampa. One time I had to run out of the theatre after my show because I thought it would be funny to read aloud the names and addresses of the sex offender list in that town."

    Kathy also appreciates that she's still so popular with fans at this stage of her career.

    She shared: "I got to tell you, I'm still in shock that I was able to do my last tour and do 75 cities, including the great Carnegie Hall, the great Boston Symphony Hall.

    "And look, I'm not going to sell out every show. I wish I was Dave Chappelle or Chris Rock, and I wish I could say I'm going to sell out every show, but I'm kind of flabbergasted that these offers are coming in."

    Kathy is actually still surprised when she receives invites to perform anywhere.

    She said: "I just feel so fortunate that I survived the last few years and now have my New Face, New Tour lined up, and the audience is saying, 'Come to my town,' and I'm saying, 'Really? You'll have me? Great. I'll be there'. I'm just letting it all out there."
