Controversial comedian Kathy Griffin has added a second Knoxville show for 9 p.m. Saturday, May 1, at the Tennessee Theatre.

Tickets for Griffin’s 7 p.m. show on the same night sold out shortly after tickets went on sale.

Griffin is also the star of the Bravo series “My Life on the D-List,” which earned her Emmys for Outstanding Reality Program in 2007 and 2008.

Tickets for the show are $49, plus applicable service fees, and will go on sale at 10 a.m., Friday, March 12, at Tickets Unlimited outlets, The Tennessee Theatre Box Office, by phone at 865-656-4444, or online at the theater's Web site.

I am surprised that many people find this woman to be funny and interesting. I do not. I think she is not funny at all. I wouldn't go to her show if they paid me $49 to go see it. To each his own I suppose.

With a name like Horace, I can understand why you don't find much of anything funny..
Get some help for that agraphobia, OK?..Seriously...
