Oh yes, Kathy Griffin is absolutely hilarious in this new album. If you liked "For Your Consideration", you will be blown away by this even better comedy album. Topics include, Maggie (two-buck chuck) Griffin needs a sturdy German, Katie Couric will cut-a-beotch, Maya Angelou is terrible (poetically speaking), and Joan (your a poka-playa) Rivers on The Apprentice. This is a must for those of you who love comedy albums or have seen her hit Bravo TV show, "My Life on the D-List".

P.S. If you watched the Real Housewives of Orange County this year, wow, you will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real Howlers From New Jersey!, September 3, 2009

Kathy Griffin's new "Holiday" album is a terrific condensation of top material from her new concert tour. She really rocks the house in New Jersey, where the show was recorded for posterity.

The album contains hilarious, all-new sets about everything and everyone surrounding "Planet Kathy," including Superstar Maggie, Maya Angelou, Gayle King, Katie Couric, Donald Trump, Kevlar vests and of course, "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." Sacred Cows run away screaming when they hear the pearly tones of Ms. G, and this album really sends the taboos a-runnin'.

Honestly, this lady is one helluva performer. We just saw her in concert, with a packed house, and we were almost peeing ourselves. In fact, KG even peed herself!

If you can't see Kathy live (which all sentient beings should before they die), this hilarious album is the next best thing. It's about as "Holiday" as the Black Death, but much, much funnier! And check out that cover - lucky St. Nick!

If Joan Rivers and Don Rickles had ever had a kid, it couldn't have grown up funnier than Kathy Griffin, the greatest entertainer on the planet.

3.0 out of 5 stars Funny, but wish it had been better., August 31, 2010

First off, love Kathy Griffin. I've seen her live and own as much of her merchandise as I can justify. That being said, I really wanted to like this album better than I did. The material was funny, but the whole thing just seemed so disjointed. The cuts between bits were incredibly obvious, to the point that I had to check and make sure I didn't have the files on shuffle. The tracks jumped from routine to routine with very little transition.

Basically, this felt like half an album. Or, like one of the Bravo specials where they cut the hell out of the routine to fit it in 45 minutes. Can we please get a full-length show at some point? I know double-cd's are increasingly rare, but for her material? It's kind of necessary.
