Jerry Lewis was wrong when he said that woman stand ups are not funny! Obviously, he has never met or seen Tonight Show veteran and St. Louis, MO. native Kathleen Madigan. Voted best female stand up at the American Comedy Awards in 1995, Kathleen has made the most of her career. Kathleen started at an open mic night in 1990, and has resulted in numerous television appearances and selling out comedy clubs and theatres across the country. Kathleen Madigan was last seen on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” Season 2!

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 have 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.
