Kathleen Madigan: Hunting Bigfoot

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 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.

I had my calendar cleared for the day Hunting Bigfoot premiered. I was so excited and was not disappointed. Kathleen Madigan is one of the few comedians my very diverse family can all enjoy together and laugh instead of getting offended. Even while making jokes about millennials, she talks about them with a kind of respect that doesn't make anyone feel like they got thrown under the bus. Her perspective on current affairs are the best ( I love her podcast!), but as always, the stories about her family are my favourite. If you like stand up comedy, do yourself a favor and check out Hunting Bigfoot or any one of her specials.

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.
