Her Seeso special "45 Jokes About My Dead Dad" made Vulture's list of Top Ten Comedy Specials of 2016. She's written two books, Shitty Mom (2012) and Dead People Suck (2018).  She is currently a writer for CONAN on TBS, and previously wrote for Tough Crowd w/Colin Quinn (Comedy Central) and The Late Late Show with Craig Fergusion (CBS). She has appeared at the Montreal Comedy Festival as a New Face and, 12 years later, as a Master.   As far as mid-life crisis go, Phil Griffiths’ wife stacks his career in stand up comedy as better than a drug addiction but worse than him having a mistress. With his dry deadpan humor, Phil shares his slightly off observations on life. Phil has opened for Kyle Kinane, Laurie Kilmartin, Chad Daniels, Jermaine Fowler, Brad Williams and more. Recently he performed in the 2018 SF Sketchfest and was a top ten finalist in the 2016 San Francisco Comedy Competition. He has also performed in the Chico, Santa Cruz, San Diego and Sacramento Comedy Festivals. Phil is a regular at the San Francisco and Sacramento Punch Line, Cobb’s Comedy Club and Rooster T. Feathers in Sunnyvale. He also produces and hosts Comedy Sharks, a successful comedy showcase in the Bay Area. Host DNA DNA has opened for Janeane Garofalo, Margaret Cho, Moshe Kasher and a million comedians you haven't heard of, yet. The creator of the Chico Comedy Festival, The Santa Cruz Comedy Festival and a BOD member of Comedy Day in Robin Williams Meadow in Golden Gate Park, keeps DNA busy fulfilling his personal mission of building community through laughter. DNA will be opening his own comedy venue, DNA's Comedy Lab, in Santa Cruz in 2019.
