Suckin’ It For The Holidays, the scathing new comedy CD for all seasons from stand-up provocateur Kathy Griffin, has now been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.

“First of all, I gurantee you, I will be the only nominee in this category even showing up for the awards. How bout you throw this old gal a bone?” Kathy Griffin plea to Grammy Voters.

Recorded live during Kathy’s sold-out show at the Borgota Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey on June 6, 2009, the Suckin’ It For The Holidays CD arrives tastefully packaged with a full-color booklet filled with seasonal cheesecake featuring Kathy Griffin and Santa Claus in a winter wonderland.

“I am thrilled to receive my second consecutive Grammy nomination ,” said Kathy Griffin. “I am hoping the voters do the right thing this year as I have no interest in being the Susan Lucci of the recording industry”

A stand-up comedy tour de force, Suckin’ It For The Holidays provides an acerbic analysis of the celebrities and public figures, both awesome and terrifying, that provide fuel and fodder for Griffin’s preoccupations and observations. On her new album, Kathy Griffin provides iconoclastic takes on Katie Couric, Maya Angelou, Suze Orman, Justin Timberlake, T.I., Donald Trump, the Real Housewives, Heidi and Spencer, her own mother and much more.

Critics are praising Suckin’ It For The Holidays: “Suckin it for the Holidays is an excellent comedy CD and may just provide Kathy Griffin with that elusive Grammy Award she’s been seeking” Chicago Examiner. “The comedian packages this album of yuks to seduce the holiday market” The St. Petersburg Times. “The irreverent hilarity one would expect from the chatty Kathy” The San Antonio Express. “Her accomplished CD proves that Kathy Griffin deserves lots more genuine praise to come” Metro Weekly.

Suckin’ It For The Holidays is released by Music With A Twist, the independent label from Logo cable network founder and veteran media executive Matt Farber.

The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards will air on CBS on Sunday, January 31, 2010.
