If you missed it when she performed here in August, now's your chance to catch Kathy Griffin. She’s returning to SoFla, but this time as the opening act for the mega-popular South Beach Comedy Festival. (Jeez, it’s like she likes us or something! She just can’t stay away.) Ms. Griffin has two shows tonight, at 8:00 and 10:30 p.m. at the Fillmore at Jackie Gleason Theatre (1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach) (A word of advice: try to get tickets to the earlier show, South Beach audiences are obnoxious and show up drunk to anything scheduled later than 9 p.m.)

Even if you did see Griffin in her splendor last summer, word is that this appearance is slated to include some new material, so it’ll be as fresh and sassy as she is. And while you’re enjoying Ms. Griffin, don’t forget to check out the rest of the comedy festival; it runs until Jan. 19, including free comedy shows on Lincoln Road. Tickets run $37.50 to $67.50.
