Featured reviews
Kathy Griffin is genius, yes she does hate Trump... because she's actually sane and has more than 2 brain cells. Relax, have a few laughs! :))
As one of the few reviewers on this site who's actually seen the movie, I'll share that Kathy Griffin is one of the most honest, intelligent, perceptive, tenacious and hilariously funny comedians out there. All of that is on full display in the film and I enjoyed it immensely. It was great to see her on tour. The film had all the best parts of her standup, along with a peek into what the past two years have been like for her. Folks can troll her all they want. They'll just end up in her act!
I've seen this at the festivals and I also have seen the "Laugh your head off" tour live on stage last year. Wow, what a gutsy movie. Kathy Griffin went to hell and and she tells all about it. Not only interesting but also laugh out loud funny, absolutely relevant and very revealing. Do yourself a favor and watch it.
It's crazy to watch this assault of the 1st amendment be laid out in front of you during the documentary. Truly an affront to our nation. Kathy puts on a truly emotional performance detailing the Trump administration's thin-skinned attack on the freedom of expression. I completely respect her spirit in fighting for her reputation, life, and lively hood. Her on-stage performance was informative and hilarious to boot. Somewhere, I believe, Lenny Bruce is proud of Kathy Griffin.

There were 8 reviews and the show had a rating of 3.8 on here 2 hours before the show even played, so that gives you an idea of the authenticity of the negative reviews. Kathy does such a great job letting you know the hell she went through while still being able to make you laugh at the same time. I saw her Laugh Your Head Off tour, and this movie. Nobody was walking out of the show. Everyone was laughing. Everyone stayed through the live portion at the end. I was only a moderate fan before the infamous photo, but I'd seen her live once. After the photo , I am a die-hard fan, and I vow to see her every time she tours for the rest of my life.
Did you know
- TriviaKathy Griffin was turned down by every network and streaming service she pitched to.
- GoofsGriffin states that she was mentioned by Hillary Clinton in her book "What Happened", referring to a passage where Clinton thought the photo backlash was overblown and believed it was an reference to the Greek legend of Medusa and Perseus. There is no mention of Griffin in Clinton's book, rather Clinton refers to "One popular image among Trump supporters, found on everything from T-shirts to coffee mugs, depicted Trump holding up my severed head, like Perseus from ancient Greek mythology, lifting high the head of Medusa".
