48 VEGASMAGAZINE.COM PHOTOGRAPHY BY BARRY KING/WIREIMAGE CHATTY KATHY SHARP-TONGUED COMIC ATHY GRIFFIN COMES TO GIVE VEGAS A LITTLE PIECE OF HER MIND IN MIRAGE'S "ACES OF COMEDY." RISE UP: "Women need to do a better job of sticking together. I write all my own stuff. I love it, but I'll be honest, I've never been in a situation where I've had a Judd Apatow or Lorne Michaels or a big studio or network behind me." DIVINE INSPIRATION: "I pride myself on not repeating material, so I do an insane amount of research and develop- ment for every single city. Every day either a pop star or a politician or my 95-year-old alcoholic mother is doing something crazy and insane that I love to talk about." TRUTH BE TOLD: "Things have become more politically correct than even in the '90s. One thing I'm hell-bent on is not being P.C. at all." February 27 at the Terry Fator Theatre at Mirage, 702-792-7777; mirage.com . "YOU DON'T WANT STAND-UP COMICS TO BE HOLDING BACK; THAT IS THE LAST BASTION OF PEOPLE THAT SHOULD BE DOING AND SAYING THE WRONG THINGS." SCENE HOT TEST TICKET
