Kathy Griffin's latest special, A Hell of a Story, is now available for download on many platforms. The Apple download includes a 20-minute live interview that aired during the Fathom Events screenings. 

Kathy Griffin: A Hell of a Story consists of a small documentary section detailing the fall out of the infamous photo Kathy took with a Trump mask covered in fake blood. The majority of the special is a stand up comedy show, wherein Kathy pokes fun at the photo and the aftermath, while going off on tangents of similar controversies or events of her personal life.

Shameless midday bump, but I do wanna say, on top of being funny, Kathy makes it clear how much of an advocate she is for the First Amendment. It made me feeling oddly patriotic honestly. 

Watching it, you also get a good sense of how disgusting people can be. She explains that not only was she getting death threats because of the photo, but so was her 98 year old mother at her retirement village and, worst of all, her sister also received these threats while she was in the hospital until the day she died of cancer.
