Chicago Tribune wrote, "She has all but perfected the art of crafting and delivering a perfect joke. That singular dedication to the craft shows in both the evolution of her material over the years and way she can make a complicated joke with a hidden nub of wisdom seem both effortless and offhand."
"There's nobody better than Maddy. She's smart and just crushes it every time. She's not just one of the best 'female' comics, she's one of the best comics, period," says Comedian Ron White.
She's won the American Comedy Award for "Best Female Comedian" and the Phyllis Diller award for "Best Female Comedian." She has written and produced for Lewis Black's Root of All Evil on Comedy Central and done multiple USO tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Madigan originally hails from St. Louis, Missouri.
Awesome show. Great opener. Fun venue. We had a great time. Kathleen was hilarious as always. Never miss the chance to see her when she has a show close by. Highly recommended.
This was the 2nd time I saw Kathleen Madigan live and she is the funniest comedian I have ever seen. Completely relate to everything she says and she keeps me laughing the entire show! Highly recommend!
This is the 4th time I have seen her, and she just keeps getting better. Her opening act, Mike, was one of the best she has had. Love Baby Cat and Not Friendly!!
Kathleen Madigan was AMAZING! The venue was not. Flat ballroom floor meant all we could see was the backs of the heads of the people in front of us. You could watch on the Jumbo screen off to the side, but the bar menu was right under it and was at least 5 times brighter than the tv.
First time seeing Kathleen Madigan in person and she was great, as usual! Wonderful way of telling stories, so very funny, makes you wish she was your friend. Well worth the drive and overnight stay to see her. Her opening act, Chris Voth, was very funny, too. Only criticism of the venue was that the music while we waited for the start of the show was too loud.
We loved Kathleen's show! Laughing out loud is such awesome therapy!
Sooo much fun and laughter.... Kathleen Madigan is awesome and SOOOOOO funny! Keep booking her back to Phoenix so we can enjoy her 'live'!!
I love Kathleen, watch alot of her!!! I so enjoyed the evening. Her lead out comedian was funny, really enjoyed him. I brought a friend, wasn't sure she would like her, but she laughed the entire time. Money well spent. Kathleen is someone I'd love to just hang out with one night.!!!
Both Kathleen and her opening act were fabulous - one great laugh after another and nothing raunchy. What a fun evening!
Madigan was so on target with all of her jokes, as was the warm up act Chris Long, I think was his name. What WASN'T ok, was that the 2 folks that sat next to us were way too big for the seats provided, thus spilling over to mine & leaving me ½ seat to sit on, with me sitting partially on my husband's seat. I can empathize with weight issues, & sadly, they really should have bought 3 seats for the 2 of them. In hindsight, I should have told someone at the venue at the time, as it made our experience less than enjoyable. I would suggest that Ticketmaster have some kind of policy that if you exceed x pounds, then you need to buy another seat, perhaps at ½ price so you aren't gouging them. We all paid the same price for the tickets, and their excessive size should not have been allowed to hinder our experience of a fun night out.
We were disappointed at the venue (basically we could have watched the performance on TV at home). We have seen Kathleen Madigan perform before but this time she used alot more profanity and it just wasn't as funny. She also re-cycled some jokes from prior performances.
The venue is terrible, I felt I was in a convention centre with uncomfortable seating that was too close to my neighbors. I was 19 rows back and at 6'1"I could not see the performance. Kathleen is funny but I have heard many of her jokes before and wanted to hear some new material. I will not attend another performance at Talking Stick as long as they hold performances in rthe current venue.
I have seen Kathleen many times and once again was not disappointed. She had great energy and delivery was on point. The crowd was engaged and laughing the whole time. A few partial older jokes, but mostly new material.
I’ve been a fan of Kathleen for 12 or 13 years, and I think she’s absolutely hilarious. Her jokes are smart, they build up, and they really keep you laughing.
Fully enjoyed Kathleen Madigan. She had us laughing thru out her whole gig!
So glad I got to see Kathleen Madigan at the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale! She’s fabulous and keeps you laughing throughout her show. I’ve watched all her specials on Netflix but to see her in person was awesome. Always new material. I’m going to have to start listening to her podcast!
We laughed so hard we cried. Fantastic show. The opening act was great too. The only problem is the venue. To be frank, it sucks. I've seen 3 shows there and it's really hard to see unless you're right in the middle and up front. There is no slope to the floor so you can't see anything unless you're right up front and center. We watched most of the show on the giant video screens which sucks but we could not see above the crowd. Kinda felt like we could have stayed home and watched it on TV since we couldn't see her. I may not go to this venue again unless I can get great seats.
I have seen Kathleen at least 6 times. She never fails to put on a good show. I love her. She makes me laugh so much.
She outdid herself, which is no easy feat! Doubled over the whole time laughing until my stomach hurt. Venue at Talking Stick is great. Good sound and easily available bathrooms and bar. Wonderful evening!
Over one hour of non-stop laughter! Lots of situational humor that everyone can relate to. Would highly recommend seeing her. Kathleen had an opening act (about 15 minutes) and he was very funny as well. Didn't catch his last name, but he was John from Denver.
