Anthony Griffith is an American comedian, actor, writer, and philanthropist. He focuses on the reality of life from a humorous perspective. He finds his energy from his positive approach towards the tragic turns his life has taken.
An Emmy winner for his outstanding performance in the television drama, “Our Father”, this former escape artist’s (handcuffs, chains, straight jackets) abilities range from intense drama to stand-up comedy. Anthony Griffith was destined to make you laugh. Married, growing up in the inner city and reared by a religious mother all help lay the foundation for Griffith’s hilarious insights about life, liberty and the pursuit of sanity.
Griffith’s rise in comedy is in no small part due to his inventive brand of humor. Whether reminiscing about a younger brother saddled with hand-me-downs, “even his childhood pictures were old pictures of me”, or his thoughts on marriage, “After twenty years, five stitches and one restraining order, I’ve learned to say I’m sorry.”
It’s this story-telling style that captured the attention of Lea Thau of The Story-ville Center for the Spoken Word. Invited to participate in “The Moth” story-telling festival in Aspen, Co. several years ago, Griffith mesmerized audiences with his raw honesty and wit, sharing a personal story never before revealed.
With over twenty-five national comedy television appearances, Griffith’s rise is in no small part due to his inventive brand of humor. Griffith presents a unique outlook on the absurdities of life. His non-offensive humor coupled with his ability to bring his characters to life, has made him an audience favorite at corporate and religious events.
