TICKETS ON SALE 9/6!!Kathleen Madigan's 32-year comedy career continues to thrive as she tours extensively, performing 250 nights a year. She has progressed from comedy clubs to headlining sold-out shows in marquee theaters, appeared on numerous late-night talk shows, and released several comedy specials on Netflix, Comedy Central, and HBO. Madigan recently appeared on Jerry Seinfeld's Netflix show "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" and launched her podcast, "Madigan's Pubcast," during the pandemic. Reflecting on her career, she describes it as a "happy accident" that began as a reason to drink.
Her latest special, "Bothering Jesus," marks her fifth hour-long stand-up special and will be her third on Netflix. Madigan praises Netflix for its supportive environment, which she finds more enjoyable compared to the rigid constraints of network TV. Her "Bothering Jesus" album has been the highest-selling and most-played comedy album on streaming services since 2014.
Madigan has performed internationally and participated in USO tours to entertain troops worldwide, including in Iraq and Afghanistan. Known for her dedication to stand-up, she's earned accolades like the American Comedy Award for "Best Female Comedian" and the Phyllis Diller award. Despite her impressive career, she remains focused on her passion for comedy, noting that her main goal has always been to tell jokes, rather than pursuing acting roles or additional goals.
