SUMMARY:Kathleen Madigan
DESCRIPTION:Kathleen Madigan is an exception. Over the past three decades
 \, most comedians haven’t built and sustained the sort of touring and sp
 ecials business she has without some sort of major TV show or movie role
 . Coming from a long line of Midwestern union workers\, Madigan has alwa
 ys approached stand-up as a job\, and by doing so has established hersel
 f as one of the most successful road comics ever as her career continues
  to explode. In addition to touring\, Madigan has released seven stand-u
 p specials including her most recent 2025 special\, The Family Thread\, 
 on Amazon Prime. The special was critically acclaimed and received raved
  reviews as The Los Angeles Times named it one of the best specials of 2
 025 and The New York Times said\, “Madigan is one of the most impressive
  joke writers in stand-up.” The special was filmed at the Pabst Theater 
 in Milwaukee\, WI. Over her career\, she’s squeezed in over 40 appearanc
 es on late-night & day-time talk shows\, appeared on Comedians in Cars g
 etting Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld and has multiple comedy specials airin
 g on Amazon\, NETFLIX\, MAX\, SHOWTIME and Comedy Central. In 2020\, tak
 ing advantage of time off touring on the road because of the pandemic\, 
 Madigan created “Madigan’s Pubcast” which has garnered over 10 million s
 treams and over 200 episodes. She shares her thoughts on everything from
  Taylor Swift to Area 51. It’s equal parts silly and sincere and feels a
 s natural and comfortable as chatting with Madigan herself. After a rece
 nt performance at the Chicago Theater\, The 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 h
 er material over the years and the way she can make a complicated joke w
 ith a hidden nub of wisdom seem both effortless and offhand.” “I just wa
 nted to tell jokes\,” she said. “I didn’t start doing open mic night to 
 become an actor or a celebrity. Those things never crossed my mind. For 
 a few of us working\, telling jokes was our main and only goal. I don’t 
 have any more goals. Can’t you just have a goal\, reach it and enjoy it?
  Why do we have to set more? I don’t get it. Grab a beer and enjoy what 
 you’ve done.” She’s won the American Comedy Award for “Best Female Comed
 ian” and the Phyllis Diller award for “Best Female Comedian.” She’s done
  multiple USO tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. “The USO shows are the best
 . Trust me\, no crowd is more appreciative and fired up to see a show. I
 ’m glad I have the chance to give back for what they do for all of us.” 
 RECENT ACCOLADES: “A master of timing with a Midwestern sensibility. Lai
 d-back\, smart\, unfiltered and brutally funny.” –LA Times “She curses a
  smidgen but also has the sensibility of someone who sneaks a cigarette 
 at a funeral.”–NY Times “She has delivered consistently excellent stand-
 up for over three decades. She is very good at her job.” – VULTURE “It’s
  hard to say what we love more\, Madigan’s jokes of her delivery because
  both are so honed\, so sharp and yet feel absolutely off the cuff\, as 
 if Madigan is just holding court in the corner of a local pub over pints
 . Kathleen is a national treasure and Hunting Bigfoot should be high on 
 your list of specials to watch.” —THE INTERROBANG “Madigan’s mix of the 
 mundane and somewhat absurd is what makes her act fell fresh and fun\, e
 ven after decades of touring.”—ST. LOUIS MAGAZINE “Madigan has the heart
 land appeal of Roseanne Barr and the cultural mindset of Chelsea Handler
  but exists somewhere between the two of them while not like being eithe
 r one of them.”—DECIDER.COM “She’s small\, practical and fun. She makes 
 a lot of sense but not too much sense. Just enough to be hilarious.” —JE
 RRY SEINFELD “There’s nobody better than Maddy. Smart and just crushes i
 t every time. She’s not just one of the best “female” comics\, she’s one
  of the best comics period.—RON WHITE “She’s the fun lady at the end of 
 the bar with a lot of opinions and only half the information. She’s one 
 of the best comics working today. And she beats me in golf which is just
  bullshit.”—LEWIS BLACK Madigan splits her time between Nashville and th
 e Missouri Ozarks and originally hails from St. Louis\, Missouri.\n\nTic
