Kathleen Madigan: Bothering Jesus

Kathleen is one of those rare comedians who has the knack to turn everyday life into hilarious tales... her delivery, timing, vocabulary, articulation and vocal expressions are all seamlessly and naturally woven together to bring belly laughs at every day situations - my favorite stand-up comic...

Wow...a woman comedian that is telling jokes not about gender or sexuality. Still a great comedian. Thanks Kathleen

I watch a lot of stand-up comedy.. my Netflix queue is chock full of every kind of comedian imaginable.. THIS is by far my favorite! Madigan is warped in just the right way. She isn't raunchy, she doesn't overuse the F word - but she does swear selectively, like a copy editor reaching for the perfect punctuation.

Her delivery is Friday casual.. rather like the conversation you might have with your buddies at the neighborhood bar. Her material is not run of the mill. I'm one of those stick in the muds who rarely laugh at jokes, but her bit about catfish had me in tears! I don't know how she comes up with these uncommon narratives.. such a refreshing diversion from the typical stand-up's usual fare of crotch-grabbing jokes and self-deprecating one-liners.

I loved this so much, and laughed so much, that I can't wait to track down every special that Kathleen Madigan has ever done. It'll be fun to see what other odd aspects of life she can poke fun at for our entertainment!

I don't really get the negative reviews.

She was hilarious, and my whole family enjoyed the show.

The opening song is terrible (just get past it).

But the rest of the show is very funny.

She has clever humor, reminiscent of Lewis Black. She is very close with Lewis.

This review is going to be short and sweet because, to be completely honest, I don't have much experience in judging comedy specials. Usually, standup comedy isn't really "my thing", but if something catches my eye I'll watch from time to time.

A few years back, I watched what I think was first comedy routine to be put to film, and I remember thinking it was hilarious. She isn't for everyone, but I'm not too prudish when it comes to humor, so I enjoyed it.
