DENVER,
June 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- On
July 31, two-time Emmy®
and Grammy® award-winning comedian Kathy Griffin will bring her first ever
docu-comedy feature, "Kathy
Griffin: A Hell of a Story," to movie theaters
nationwide for one night. The film was an official selection at the
2019 SXSW Film Festival, where it instantly became an audience
favorite. In addition to the feature content, audiences will be
treated to a live, candid Q&A with Griffin that will address
the topics featured in the film.
Tickets for "Kathy
Griffin: A Hell of a Story" are available online at
www.FathomEvents.com and participating theater box
offices.
Presented by Fathom Events and Brainstorm Media, this
special one-night event will premiere in nearly 700 select movie
theaters on Wednesday, July 31
at 8:00 p.m. ET /
7:00 p.m. CT and taped delayed at
7:00pm in MT, PT, HI, AK time

"I'm thrilled tickets are finally on sale for
this docu-comedy feature film. I may be a comedy fugitive, but
move over Marty Scorsese, I've
decided I am a film auteur now! If you need a laugh, love to laugh,
and want to laugh, with some documentary realness thrown in, this
is the film event for you. I'm so grateful to Fathom Events for
being a great partner and if I may say, having some
fortitude! Don't forget to stay for my live Q&A
afterwards!" Kathy Griffin
said.
On May 30, 2017, an image of
Griffin holding a mask that resembled the severed head of President
Trump was released – the image went global and everything she had
worked for in her life vanished overnight. "Kathy Griffin: A Hell of a Story" chronicles
the unprecedented and historic story of an iconic American comedian
overcoming a political and media takedown following the release of
the controversial photo. The film is produced by Griffin and
directed by Troy Miller.
"We're thrilled to partner with Brainstorm Media to bring
this docu-comedy to cinema audiences across the country," said
Fathom Events CEO Ray Nutt. "Griffin
is a larger-than-life comedic force, and her story over the past
two years is an inspiring and heartwarming comeback tale. 'A Hell
of a Story' offers a gritty look into everything that she overcame,
and it is sure to make audiences laugh along the way."
