Kathleen Madigan Biography

Kathleen Madigan, a stand-up comedian and TV personality, has built a notable career with her observational comedy, often centered around interpersonal relationships and everyday scenarios. She has become a familiar face on various television platforms, featuring in shows such as "Last Comic Standing," "I Love the 90s: Part Deux," "I Love the '80s 3-D," and "Celebrity Poker Showdown." Her comedy specials include an HBO Half-Hour and "Comedy Central Presents."

In addition to regular appearances on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," "Late Show with David Letterman," and nationally syndicated radio shows like "The Bob and Tom Show," Madigan has expanded her presence in media with more than 40 appearances on late night talk shows and multiple comedy specials airing on platforms including Netflix, Comedy Central, and HBO. Her fifth hour-long stand-up special, "Bothering Jesus," is available on Netflix, and its accompanying album has become the highest-selling and most-played comedy album on streaming services since 2014.

Madigan's impact extends beyond conventional comedy stages; she has performed internationally at festivals and theaters in countries such as Ireland, England, and Australia, and has filmed seven Montreal Gala Shows at the Montreal Comedy Festival for CBC TV. Recognized for her commitment to entertain, she has also participated in numerous USO tours to entertain troops globally, including in Iraq and Afghanistan, and continues to be an advocate and fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis and autism.

Madigan's accolades include winning the American Comedy Award for "Best Female Comedian" and the Phyllis Diller Award for the same category. Her influence and contributions to comedy were further acknowledged when she became the only comedian in the history of NBC’s "Last Comic Standing" to go unchallenged by any other comedian. Additionally, Madigan launched her own comedy podcast, "Madigan's Pubcast," during the pandemic, available on all streaming outlets, providing fans with a new medium to enjoy her humor.
