Comedian Kathy Griffin had a bit of a quiet period in 2017. She decided to hire a famous photographer to take some “fun snaps” to send out for glorious self-promotion and maybe drum up some business. That day led to the infamous “Donald Trump as Medusa” photo that set the right-wing media afire and burned Kathy Griffin’s career to ashes. She apologized, but that didn’t seem to matter to the political right or political left – friends left her in droves and every venue in America canceled future shows. She was hounded by the press, stalked by crazies, interrogated by the FBI and DOJ, and faced a never-ending tunnel of depression. But, never one to give up, she did what she knows best and found the funny in the situation, creating a new show and taking it to Europe - to rise like a phoenix out of the ashes and maybe have the last laugh.
