Comedian Kathleen Madigan's 33-year comedy career is showing no signs of slowing down as she currently on her all-new tour, Boxed Wine & Tiny Banjos in 2023. Madigan has been touring 250 nights a year on the road and has risen from performing in comedy clubs to performing in marquee theaters with sold-out shows.
Madigan has squeezed in over 40 appearances on late night talk shows and multiple comedy specials airing on Netflix, Comedy Central and HBO. She has also appeared on Jerry Seinfeld's popular Netflix series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and hosts her popular weekly podcast, Madigan's Pubcast, which currently has over 4 million downloads on all streaming outlets.

Madigan has performed internationally at festivals in theaters in Ireland, England, Hong Kong, Australia and has filmed seven Montreal Gala Shows at the Just For Laugh's Comedy Festival for CBC TV.
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.
I love Kathleen Madigan. I first saw her a little over 20 years ago in a local comedy club and have followed her ever since. It was a fantastic show. She did not disappoint!
Kathleen was, as expected, extremely original and hilarious. Her style of observation and reporting on the ordinary activities of humans in society is so funny and spot on. No matter of your station in society or religion, political views, or race. Kathleen will put a smile on your face, a laughter in your belly and your troubles will melt away for the time she's on stage.
Kathleen will have you laughing the whole time. So glad we went!
Kathleen Madigan is my favorite comedian. Her storytelling is hilarious! My only complaint would be that the show is a little short. It seemed to be over too quickly.
I loved Kathleen since first hearing her on the Bob and Tom show. I've followed her career on many specials and Netflix ventures. I was excited to finally see her in person and she did not disappoint. I love that the show wasn't just the same material she has performed for this tour. She adapted it for Indianapolis and included material from her recent hotel stay the night before. A true show of comedic strength. The flow was smooth and the timing impeccable. I would go see her over and over again, knowing that I would never get the same show twice but will always walk away with my cheeks hurting from laughing. LOVE HER.
We've seen Kathleen Madigan maybe 4-5 times now. While a couple bits we've heard before, a chunk of it was a new (to us at least), and this was a longer set than the last one which was thoroughly satisfying. Considering that the first time I saw her she was opening to Lewis Black - she's definitely gotten comfortable (or, again, appears to be) on stage and the set feeds off her audience. A LOT of fun!!! So glad she returns to Indy regularly.
Bought tickets to Kathleen Madigan. Assumed it would be new material- not almost the entire show repeat of jokes in her comedy shows on Netflix. Nice venue/organized entry/helpful staff
We like Kathleen Madigan’s comedy and were excited to see here again but the acoustics of the hall were not good. I could barely understand the warm up act at all and when Kathleen came out it wasn’t much better. Everything was booming and garbled. What I could understand was good but it put a damper on the event. I hope concerts there are better.
Kathleen Madigan is so relatable! Her everyday life is so funny we all go along for the ride, laughing all the way! I wouldn't have missed her show in Huntsville for the world. I even checked for other cities to tell my friends and family to go see her. And I'll probably go with them.
I suppose we were spoiled by Brian Regan. After her 4th GD, her second Jesus Christ, and her insults about Alabama, my wife and I just got up and left.
Kathleen was hilarious, great show. Very relatable for a "mature"audience. :)
I laughed SO hard. Not only was Kathleen funny, but her opener was as well. I loved how they both wove local into their comedy.
Always enjoy listening to her. Very funny lady. Opening act was good, too.
I’ve seen her several times and she just gets funnier every time!
Highly recommend this show! Laughed from start to finish! Kathleen Madigan does not disappoint!
Really enjoyed Kathleen Madigan. Will definitely go see her again.
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.
