Kathleen Madigan: Hunting Bigfoot

I love that, watching a Kathleen Madigan special, you kind of know what you're in for, but still, you are surprised and get so much more. Lots of little stories about her family are easily the highlight of this special for me. But also some great material on growing up in the Ozarks and what life is like there and also able to touch on politics without being divisive. Instead, pointing out the inanity of it all. If you're a reasonable person that isn't a die-hard cult member of either side, you can really appreciate what she's saying and find it hilarious. But stop wasting your time reading reviews like mine. Just watch the special.

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.

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.

We've never heard of Kathleen Madigan but my wife and I thought we would watch the first 5 minutes of this show but we weren't expecting much. To our surprise, she immediately captured our interest and made us laugh. And she was very different from other standup comedians we have watched over the years. She not only talks about different places and situations, but also acts out different people , including family and random people she met. We liked the way she portrays each situation in a very funny way while making sense of it all. She sends a message that made us nod our heads in agreement. We highly recommend you watch this show.

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.
