Madigan, whom Lewis Black deemed "The Funniest Comic in America," follows in the tradition of great comedic minds like George Carlin and Bill Hicks. With biting wit and a big dose of Midwestern charm, she skewers politics, American culture, and her family. Winner of the American Comedy Award for Best Female Comic, Madigan has been seen on "The Tonight Show," "The Late Show with David Letterman," "The View," "Dr. Phil," "The Joy Behar Show," and has had her own specials on HBO and Comedy Central.
