About the Performer
Kathleen Madigan is one of the most successful and beloved stand-up comedians in America. Over three decades into her career, she has built a touring empire without the benefit of a major TV show or movie role — just pure, relentless dedication to the craft of stand-up comedy. Coming from a long line of Midwestern union workers, Madigan has always approached comedy as a job, and the results speak for themselves.
She has released six stand-up specials, including Hunting Bigfoot on Amazon Prime (winner of the Interrobang’s 2023 Comedy Special of the Year), and Bothering Jesus on Netflix, which became the highest-selling comedy album and most-played comedy special on streaming services since 2015. She has appeared on over 40 late-night and daytime talk shows and was featured on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld.
Jerry Seinfeld himself has said: “She’s small, practical and fun. She makes a lot of sense but not too much sense. Just enough to be hilarious.” Ron White adds: “There’s nobody better than Maddy. She’s not just one of the best female comics, she’s one of the best comics period.”

About the Venue
The Carolina Theatre of Durham is a beautifully restored 1926 landmark in the heart of downtown Durham. Fletcher Hall seats approximately 1,000 guests and is known for its warm acoustics, classic proscenium stage, and intimate atmosphere that makes every seat feel close to the action.
The venue is surrounded by Durham’s vibrant dining and nightlife scene. Parking is available on nearby streets and in downtown garages. The Carolina Theatre is easily accessible from I-85 and US-15/501, and the historic building itself is part of the experience.
What to Expect
Kathleen Madigan delivers the kind of stand-up that feels effortless — sharp, perfectly timed, and full of the kind of wisdom that sneaks up on you mid-laugh. Her material draws from everyday life, family, politics, and the absurdity of modern existence, all filtered through her uniquely Midwestern, no-nonsense lens.
The Chicago Tribune wrote: “She has all but perfected the art of crafting and delivering a perfect joke.” Expect approximately 75–90 minutes of masterclass stand-up comedy from one of the most consistent performers in the business.
