Kathleen Madigan: A la caza del Bigfoot

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.

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.

Like a lot of older people, Kathleen Madigan thinks every young person is a Millenial. In 2023, Millenials are between 27 and 42 years old. The young people she is describing are Gen Z. Even though I like her humor and the show was good, Kathleen has now become part of one of her own jokes. I do like her stories about some of the crackerland places she visits. If you've never been to a backa$$, redneck, small town - she does get this right. They are real. Would love to me her parents someday, they sound like they'd be a ton of fun at a cocktail party. Would love to see more comedy specials with Kathleen. As it is, I am driven to watching all her specials as repeats.

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.

I love that, watching a Kathleen Madigan special, you kind of know what you're in for, but still, you are surprised and get so much more. Lots of little stories about her family are easily the highlight of this special for me. But also some great material on growing up in the Ozarks and what life is like there and also able to touch on politics without being divisive. Instead, pointing out the inanity of it all. If you're a reasonable person that isn't a die-hard cult member of either side, you can really appreciate what she's saying and find it hilarious. But stop wasting your time reading reviews like mine. Just watch the special.
