Kathy Griffin won't be holding back on her upcoming comedy tour.
The comedian, 64, tells PEOPLE that "the gloves are off" as she writes new material for her upcoming comedy tour, New Face, New Tour, kicking off in Las Vegas on Nov. 8 and running through May 2026.
"It's an evening with Kathy Griffin, and I've been touring so long that I really think if you buy a ticket to my show, you can't act like you don't know I'm going to curse like crazy, I'm going to say inappropriate things," says Griffin. "I'm going to go off on celebrities and talk about whatever is in the pop culture zeitgeist."
"I would say that the folks coming to my show, they know what they're in for," she continues. "I call my audiences very un-shockable because they've heard me say it all, and I'll be saying even worse things this time."
Griffin also promises it'll be a different act every night of her tour.
"I start with local material," she says. "If I'm in Tampa, I'll talk about what celebrities are from Tampa. One time I had to run out of the theater after my show because I thought it would be funny to read aloud the names and addresses of the sex offender list in that town."
When Griffin saw the response to her revealing that she'd gotten her third facelift in August, she knew she had to hint at it with the name of the tour.
"I got a facelift, which people seem to be fascinated by, and I just want to say I don't know why, but it cracks me up," she says. "I'm laughing because I've done some political interviews that I did all this research for, and then they're like, 'Kathy Griffin gets a facelift.' So, I know it's part of the story, and I'm fine with it. I thought naming it New Face, New Tour was funny enough."
Eight years after she sparked nationwide controversy when she posted a photo of herself holding a Halloween mask of President Donald Trump covered in ketchup, Griffin says she has "so much gratitude" that she's still able to do what she loves most.
"I got to tell you, I'm still in shock that I was able to do my last tour and do 75 cities, including the great Carnegie Hall, the great Boston Symphony Hall," she says. "And look, I'm not going to sell out every show. I wish I was Dave Chappelle or Chris Rock, and I wish I could say I'm going to sell out every show, but I'm kind of flabbergasted that these offers are coming in."
Most recently, Griffin says she got an offer to play a show in Richmond, Va.
"My answer was, 'Are you sure?'" she says with a laugh. "It means so much to me because prior to the Trump Halloween mask with ketchup on it photo, I played the deep south all the time. To be welcomed back to these markets is such a pleasant surprise. I feel a real responsibility to just give 110% every single show."
Griffin says the "best compliment" she gets these days is from people in her social media comments telling her she's "risen from the ashes."
"I just feel so fortunate that I survived the last few years and now have my New Face, New Tour lined up, and the audience is saying, 'Come to my town,' and I'm saying, 'Really? You'll have me? Great. I'll be there,'" she says. "I'm just letting it all out there."
