CHATSWORTH, Calif. - January 26, 2007 - Talented comic Kathy Griffin, star of Bravo Cable Network's reality show, "My Life on the D-List," will host the gay adult entertainment industry's biggest night of the year, the GAYVN Awards 2007 ceremony, Saturday, February 24, 2007, at the landmark Castro Theater in San Francisco.
Operated by AVN Media Network, the GAYVN Awards Show, a notoriously hilarious event which recognizes movies, talent and other individuals that have contributed to the advancement of the gay entertainment industry is considered by many the highlight of the gay community year. The event will start with a pre-show industry dinner reception at The Café, 2367 Market St., San Francisco, just around the corner from the theater. The Castro Theatre is located at 429 Castro St.
A stand-up comedienne, Griffin is probably best known for her four-year stint on the NBC sitcom "Suddenly Susan" as Vickie Groener, Brooke Shields' acerbic colleague. She has supplied voices for characters in several animated series including "Dilbert" and "The Simpsons" and had a dual role on the "X Files" TV series. Her Bravo reality show, "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List", debuted in 2005 and has been renewed for a third season. The .all-new eclectic mix of adventures chronicling Kathy's latest indignities will unfold over six uncontrollable and unscripted episodes Tuesdays at 9 p.m.
"I'm thrilled that "My gays" have asked me to join them for their big event," Griffin, known for her rapid fire humor, said. "I can't wait to skewer my favorites."
Excerpts from the show will be used as part of Kathy's Bravo show to be aired on Bravo Television Network.
"Kathy is going to make the 2007 GAYVN Awards show more fun than ever," Chad Beecher, Vice President, AVN Business Relations, says. "Sarcastic comments just tumble off her lips. She'll have us all rolling in the aisles."
