"
Donald Trump will not survive the live and hilarious indictment I will be bringing down on his orange head. Did I say head?" Griffin said.
"To all of you in North America who have been sending so much love and support, now's your chance to show it. Buy a ticket for one of these tour stops and I promise you won't be disappointed. You're gonna get the whole story. We will talk about THE photo that sparked a conversation around the world, how my mom Maggie still watches Fox News and thinks I might be in ISIS, and hell, I'll even walk you through my interrogation by the feds. You're not gonna get that story anywhere else! Oh, and did I mention that my next door neighbors during this whole ordeal are none other than
Kim Kardashian-West and Kanye Kardashian-West?"
Griffin continues, "My show isn't for the faint of heart so leave your kids at home. My motto is 'Funny First.' But don't worry, we've got some serious smack talking to do about everything and everyone," before adding, "with love, of course."
Following a wildly successful run overseas including; New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, the U.K., among many others; the prolific comic is ready to come home and tell her truth in the only way she can - fearless and peerless comedy.
