Comedienne Kathy Griffin Headlines Entertainment at 2008 Gay Pride Festival, July 19-20

Tuesday July 8, 2008
Courtesy of LGBT festivalThe 2008 San Diego LGBT (Gay) Pride Festival is going straight for the D-list of stars by signing up the Queen of the D-listers, Kathy Griffin, to headline the entertainment of the annual event.

The Emmy-winning comedienne famous for sharing her life from Hollywood's D-list is making the A-list at this year's San Diego LGBT Pride festival in Balboa Park, scheduled for July 19-20. Griffin will make her special appearance at 6 p.m., July 20, on the festival's solar-powered Green Stage, sponsored by Sempra Energy.

Griffin is the star of the successful reality show on Bravo TV, "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List," which earned her an Emmy for Outstanding Reality Program. The show recently began running in its fourth season, and in May, the gay-friendly comedienne picked up a GLAAD Media Award at Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.
