Kathleen Madigan to Appear at the Paramount Theatre, 10/3

Kathleen Madigan's "Madigan Again" tour is coming to Paramount Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 8 pm.

Tickets are $38.50 - $58.50 (price inclusive of parking/facility fee) and go on-sale Thursday, Feb. 19 at 10 am at www.altitudetickets.com or by calling 303.893.TIXS.

Over Kathleen Madigan's 25 year career she has performed on nearly every standup television show ever made - Leno, Letterman, Conan, Ferguson and so on. Her third hour-long special, Madigan Again, which iTunes named one of the Best Comedy Albums of 2013, premiered exclusively on Netflix in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Latin America, and is now available on CD, DVD and audio or video download. Previously she's released 4 CDs and 2 DVDs and starred in 2 HBO specials, 3 Comedy Central specials, 3 CMT Salute to the Troops specials with Ron White and her last hour-long special, Gone Madigan, premiered on Showtime and is available on Netflix.

So how is it, the Detroit Free Press asks, "that Madigan has yet to be cast as the wise-cracking a) best friend b) office worker or c) martini-swilling mother-in-law in any of countless sitcoms? We're thinking because it's because she's so irreplaceable on the stage. She's described as the funniest woman doing stand-up right now, but no gender qualifier is necessary. Along with Lewis Black, Brian Regan and Jim Gaffigan, she's one of the funniest stand-up comedians of her generation."

She's won the American Comedy Award for "Best Female Comedian" and the Phyllis Diller award for "Best Female Comedian."

Although she's turned down many writing jobs because she enjoys performing more, she has written and produced for Lewis Black's "Root of all Evil" on Comedy Central and for Gary Shandling's Emmy monologues.

She's done two USO tours to Iraq and Afghanistan with pals Lewis Black, Robin Williams, John Bowman and musicals acts Kid Rock, The Zac Brown Band, Kix Brooks and Kellie Pickler.

To top off her laundry list of accolades; Kathleen remains the only comedian in the history of NBC's Last Comic Standing to go unchallenged by any other comedian -- meaning no comedian would say they were funnier than her.
