About

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.

Her most recent special Bothering Jesus is her fifth hour long stand-up special and third special to be available on NETFLIX. Her highly anticipated sixth stand-up special, Hunting Bigfoot that will premiere world-wide on February 21st, 2023 as an Amazon Original. The brand-new special, recorded at The Paramount Theater in Denver, CO explores topics including Madigan's aging parents, interactions with millennials, and hunting bigfoot.

Kathleen's album of the Bothering Jesus special, was the highest selling comedy album and most played comedy album on streaming services since 2014.

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.

    Kathleen Madigan

    by Franjm on 2/14/10Keswick Theatre - Glenside

    This was a terrific show. Kathleen was as funny and entertaining as ever. There is no funnier woman in the country. Would go again when she is in town.

    Wow, what a show

    by markp15 on 2/14/10Keswick Theatre - Glenside

    First off, it was nice not to hear bashing of our elected leaders. Yes, there were a few shots, but nothing like the past. She related stories to her life in LA and her parents. I laughed so hard a few times that I was crying. Just a note from the show, Cows move slow. You have to see the show. If you can see her, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

    Best Comic Standing!

    by MadAboutMadigan on 2/14/10Keswick Theatre - Glenside

    John DiBella said it all in his introduction - Kathleen Madigan is the best woman stand up comic today. She delivers from the time she walks out onto the stage, and doesn't stop for well over an hour. My husband and I were crying by the end, we were laughing so hard. The only down side? My stomache hurts today from laughing too much!

    Great night out in the PA tundra

    by BarneyAndy on 2/14/10Keswick Theatre - Glenside

    Loved seeing the show last night at the Keswick. Kathleen Madigan didn't fail to entertain and make me laugh through the entire show. So enjoy her sense of humor! Well worth the trek out and about on our somewhat cleared PA frozen tundra roads. I would tell anyone to go see her as she does an outstanding job at making us laugh at life, and ourselves!! I saw her in Vegas and was SO happy that she was coming to the Keswick. Bring her back soon.

    Excellent humor.

    by WJD1 on 2/14/10Keswick Theatre - Glenside

    Both the opening act and the headliner were excellent. The comedic material was fresh and current. There was disruptive conversation coming from the concession stand area, during the opening act. This could be corrected with physical barriers or a change in policy. Parking is limited and the recent snow exacerbated the limited parking.

    Sexy Girl, Hilarious Show

    by TheOriginalSilverback on 10/27/09Birchmere - Alexandria

    The warm-up act, Salim (sp?), was intelligent, funny, edgy and the perfect "appetizer" for Kathleen as the main course. He was also very generous towards Kathleen and you got the sense that while they may not know each other real well, they are both kind. Kathleen Madigan is gorgeous, sexy, cute, funny, and the first woman I've met who makes me think (albeit briefly) about adultery....and, man, is she funny! Topical, clever, self-deprecating, down-to-earth, "everyman", and funny, funny, funny. I won't miss another show in this area. Ran a little bit long at the end, but that might be more about the hard seats and poor seating position demanded by the lay out of the tables and chairs.

    Fabulous!

    by Carlavanessa on 10/24/09Birchmere - Alexandria

    How do you say she was fabulous fabulous fabulous???!!! I would see her over and over again. Kathleen Madigan knows how to talk about the things that make you laugh and everyone should laugh that hard every day of their lives!

    very very funny

    by beedoobee on 10/23/09Birchmere - Alexandria

    This was the 4th time I have seen Kathleen Madigan and hopefully will not be my last. Her humor is sarcastic and biting, but without being really mean and is never crude. Her stories about her siblings and parents always ring true and everyone can see a bit of their own relationships with parents in her stories. By the end of the evening, my stomach actually hurt from laughing so much. I have one complaint - when I have seen her at the Improv in the past she always met her fans afterward. She did not do that this time and I was very dissapointed. I'm just hoping that she is not becoming a comedy diva (a la Kathy Griffith) One of the best things about her is that she is so down to earth and just like a 'real' person to her fans. Kathleen - if you are reading this - don't lose that quality! Her opening act - Saleem was ok. He had some really funny lines, but sometimes, especially his comments about Obama boardered on being over the top

    Rollin in the Floor Funny

    by MrRef on 10/23/09Birchmere - Alexandria

    We had a group of 6. 2 had been to the Birchmere before and 4 had not. Everyone loved the facility. The show was fantastic. Both comedians were hilarious. Did not know what to expect for a warm up, but Saleem (sp) was great. I saw Kathleen on Last Comic Standing and have listened to her for years. I had heard very little of what she performed last night. It was 90+% new stuff, which is refreshing. So many times you go to something like this and it is all material you have heard over and over. Even though I have heard quite a bit of her, most of what she did was new and current. She built in the current events and her travels. She made it all fresh and kept it going for the whole show. We will be back. The group was already planning the next trip to the Birchmere before the night was over. Thanks for a great night out for a great value. And the food was terrific, too.

    Ms. Madigan ON POINT!

    by ShesBack on 10/23/09Birchmere - Alexandria

    Kathleen once again, delivered an outstanding performance at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA last night! Her impeccable timing and overall delivery of material sets her apart from others! Over the years, very few female comedians have been able to remain relevant. Not since Lucille Ball, Phyllis Diller, Tracy Ullman, Wanda Sykes and a few others, has another woman fit the definition of a true, seasoned professional. From her daily observations, her views of Catholicism, and her thoughts on her family - right down to her mom & dad arguing inside a US Army tank, Kathleen's unique perspective highlights moments that everyone can understand - if not relate to somehow! Overall a very enjoyable evening - I would certainly go see her again if she's ever in town! Heck, I might even travel a bit if she's playing within 100 miles.. ;-)

    Kathleen Madigen Rocks the Funny !!!!

    by KMfanigen on 10/23/09Birchmere - Alexandria

    Kathleen came out and just ripped through all of her material the entire show! She had so much great new stuff! Everone was laughing to tears! I've seen her for several years and followed her through LCS. I love her on those vh1 or E show panels too. I wish she'd Go on Chelsea Lately. The two of them can polish off a bottle of Goose and really have a great show!

    Kathleen Madigan is screamingly funny

    by EllenEventPlanner on 10/23/09Birchmere - Alexandria

    From start to finish, Kathleen Madigan was a riot. I had to control my laughter so I didn't miss her next line. The whole audience was laughing hysterically. Wonderful show.

    Madigan is underappreciated gem!

    by Ddaleann on 10/23/09Birchmere - Alexandria

    This was my first time seeing Kathleen in person and she was outstanding! From the moment she took the stage, it was non-stop laughs for 90 minutes! I hope the next time she comes to the area she has enough fans for multiple shows!

    laughfest

    by generalhenschmeyer on 10/19/09Capitol Theatre - Columbus

    i have enjoyed this woman's humor for years and finally got to see her. her material was 98% fresh and i laughed so hard my FACE and RIBS hurt! so many comedians today rely on crude sexual or bathroom type humor. ms. madigan is a very intelligent comic and finds the humor in almost anything. not to mention she is very cute and personable. if you get the chance to see her......JUST DO IT! she is truly in a class by HERSELF.
