Kathleen Madigan: A la caza del Bigfoot

I look forward to Kathleen's podcast every week, and was so happy when her latest special came out on Prime. Her comedy is a pleasure to watch, and my bestie is convinced they could be sisters. Her genius is cultivating an aura of personable humor that makes you feel like you're having a spontaneous conversation with a friendly stranger at a local watering hole. I look forward to more jokes about her parents, weirdos from Missouri, aging politicians, and whatever else she encounters when she's on the road, reviewing the news, playing golf, searching for aliens, or hunting for bigfoot. Well done!

What the actual fuuu?! I sincerely hope whomever set up her microphone stand was immediately fired!!! Wow! This is a comedy special, not some 12:30am set at Joe's bar in Sheboygan! She tried, unsuccessfully, to fix it herself at the beginning, but she gets paid to tell jokes, not to work as a roadie. Why did no one immediately go out there to adjust the mic stand? It blocked half her face! The incompetence is unfathomable! She should be pretty POed at this BS.

However, Kathleen was a trooper and went through with her show and was pretty funny. She deserved better than the ridiculous microphone set up she had. When she was younger I thought her comedy was pretty hilarious, then she went through a little phase of so so, now she's back with the funny. Her show was very enjoyable.....except for the stupid microphone stand situation that was not her fault.

We've never heard of Kathleen Madigan but my wife and I thought we would watch the first 5 minutes of this show but we weren't expecting much. To our surprise, she immediately captured our interest and made us laugh. And she was very different from other standup comedians we have watched over the years. She not only talks about different places and situations, but also acts out different people , including family and random people she met. We liked the way she portrays each situation in a very funny way while making sense of it all. She sends a message that made us nod our heads in agreement. We highly recommend you watch this show.

I have liked her routines for years. This started a little slow, but soon I was laughing out loud. Seriously, the Bandaid joke is spot on. Her jokes on her aging parents resonate with me as someone with a purse full of pills, and I'm older than Kathleen. Yeah, she picks on groups (aging Senators, you're the butt of many jokes).

Someone else here said she misnames generations. If she doesn't make you laugh, move on. That's what I do. If her jokes work for you, this is a good show with some very good material. I recommended it to several people. I'm going to watch it again. It's a bright spot in the universe.

So Maddie is back and I couldn't be happier. Mama Termite (Check out Madigan's Pubcast on YouTube) is back from COVID lockdown and in fine form. She hits the high points of lowbrow observations on life in this America. She takes on the oldsters and the millennials, from the backwoods to Florida and back again keeping you laughing about it all.

If you've never seen Kathleen Madigan perform her unique and side-splitting brand of comedy, you're in for a treat. Check out her other specials as well; Bothering Jesus, Madigan Again, Gone Madigan, In Others Words. They are hilarious, insightful, and worth an hour any time.
