Biography

Kathleen Madigan is one of the most popular headliners in the country. An American
Comedy Award winner as best female stand-up, her accessible and unpretentious style
has earned her a devoted and growing following.


Unlike any other female comedian working today, Kathleen resonates with a broad base
of fans from coast to coast. She packs theaters from Nevada to North Carolina and
everywhere in between.


Her standup specials on HBO and Comedy Central haved earned rave reviews and her
latest CD/DVD In Other Words is one of the most downloaded comedy albums of 2006-
2007. She is a regular guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with
David Letterman, VH-1, E!, and CNN. She is a mainstay on Comedy Central where she
recently debuted a new one-hour special and appeared on The World Stands Up, USO
Comedy Tour, The World Comedy Tour, and Comedy Central Presents. Kathleen
recently served as a talent scout on NBC's Last Comic Standing and is the host of her
own weekly show on Sirius Radio Networks, The Kathleen Madigan Show. She is the
only 5ft 2inch Mid-Missouri Hoop Shoot Champion in recorded history.

In Other Words (2006, Warner Bros.) - Billboard Magazine Album Review


"Standup comedienne Kathleen Madigan makes her major-label debut with In Other
Words, a witty and wonderful effort that's just too short. Madigan's greatest strengths are
her balancing of the cynical and approachable and her equal-opportunity antagonism.
There's edgy material underneath her everywoman delivery as Madigan skewers both
George W. Bush and Ted Kennedy, along with lesser targets like Larry King and Oprah.
Her Bush rant on "Politics" is the highlight of the album, with Madigan pointing out how
the president always re-explains things that don't need re-explaining (Madigan as Bush:
"Osama bin Laden is hiding in a cave, people. In other words, he's playing peek-a-boo"). 
Effortlessly transitioning from one topic to the next, the album flies by in what seems like
a lot less than the 47 minutes it is, which makes minor complaint number one that the
listener is left wanting more, much more. Longtime comedy fans, on the other hand, will
appreciate how she recalls the brassy and brash Rusty Warren at times, or how she can
riff on family life like a more acerbic, golden-age Bill Cosby. Anyway you slice it, In
Other Words is such a great throwback to the days when standup wasn't all character-
driven or "indie" that one has to wonder why the majors didn't call her up sooner." ~
