Kathy Griffin is 'Suckin It for the Holidays'

Suckin' It For The Holidays, the scathing new comedy CD for all seasons from stand-up provocateur Kathy Griffin, will be in stores Tuesday, November 3 (available now for pre-sale). (A digital-only edition of the album was released in late August in advance of the Grammy eligibility cut-off date.)

Recorded live during Kathy's sold-out show at the Borgota Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey on June 6, 2009, the Suckin' It For The Holidays CD arrives tastefully packaged with a full-color booklet filled with seasonal cheesecake featuring Kathy Griffin and Santa Claus in a winter wonderland.

"Suckin' It For The Holidays is my holiday gift to Grammy voters," said Kathy Griffin. "It gives them a second chance to do the right thing this year at Best Comedy Album time. The Emmys on my mantle are dying to hang out with a real Grammy."

A stand-up comedy tour de force, Suckin' It For The Holidays provides an acerbic analysis of the celebrities and public figures, both awesome and terrifying, that provide fuel and fodder for Griffin's preoccupations and observations. On her new album, Kathy Griffin provides iconoclastic takes on Katie Couric, Maya Angelou, Suze Orman, Justin Timberlake, T.I., Donald Trump, the Real Housewives, Heidi and Spencer, her own mother and much more.

Suckin' It For The Holidays is Kathy Griffin's much-awaited successor to 2008's For Your Consideration, which earned her Best Comedy Album Grammy nomination. Kathy became the first female comedian ever to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top Comedy Albums chart.

Suckin' It For The Holidays is being released by Music With A Twist, the independent label from Logo cable network founder and veteran media executive Matt Farber.
