Kathleen Madigan's Bio: After returning from a USO Tour of Iraq and Afghanistan earlier this year, comedian Kathleen Madigan learned she’s entirely too short to be involved in combat and that being in the military is nothing like the commercials on television. She made the monumental trip and performed for the troops with Kid Rock, Lewis Black and Kellie Pickler.

As well as trying to look serious in combat gear, Madigan packed 2009 with more tour dates and television appearances. In addition to performing in theaters, festivals and on talk shows, Madigan, dubbed by Jay Leno as "one of the funniest female comics," has been tapped for her comedic point of view by Dr. Phil as a special correspondent for The Dr. Phil Show with reports on various topics. She also appeared this summer as one of Cheri Oteri’s clients in the AMC interstitial program Life Coach. She also recently completed writing, producing and performing on Lewis Black's The Root of All Evil, for Comedy Central. Madigan will appear on the upcoming History Channel special Surviving the Holidays set to premiere on November 23rd, 2009 where she also served as a producer for the project. The American Comedy Award winner for "Best Female Comedian" appeared on shows for VH1 and TV Guide Network which all aired this year as well as The Joy Behar Show and an upcoming appearance on the new Wanda Sykes Show. In addition to the three CD’s and DVD’s currently available, Madigan will be recording another CD and DVD.

In 2004, Madigan was the only comedian ever to go unchallenged on NBC’S Last Comic Standing and in 2007 was a talent scout during the show's fifth season. Other television appearances include stints on E!, CNN, The Tonight Show (10 appearances), Letterman (5 appearances), The Conan O’Brien Show, HBO (2 of her own specials), Comedy Central (An hour and half hour special), and ESPN. Madigan also somehow defeated the ever-popular Larry the Cable guy and other notable funny comics to win the 2007 Sirius Radio Comedy Cup.

She’s performed around the world at comedy festivals and in theaters in IRELAND, ENGLAND, CANADA and CHINA (that was a disaster…feel free to ask her). She was also a writer for Gary Shandling in 2004 and 2005 when he hosted the EMMY’S.

Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, Madigan lives in Los Angeles. She graduated from Southern Illinois University with a degree in journalism. Her goal is to make as much money as possible and move to Ireland, the only place Guinness tastes right and perhaps, purchase some sheep. … Read more
