Kathleen Madigan Comes to Ridgefield Playhouse Tonight

By:

Funny lady Kathleen Madigan returns to The Ridgefield Playhouse tonight, October 18, at 8 p.m. for another laugh-out-loud show. Over her 25-year career, she has performed on nearly every standup television show. Her last hour-long special, Gone Madigan, premiered on Showtime. To make it a great night on the town, Bissell House (378 Main St., Ridgefield) will pour a complimentary glass of house wine or draught beer with dinner the night of this show when tickets are presented. This event is sponsored by Bissell House and is part of the Clark Construction Comedy Series.

Stand-up great Jay Leno calls Kathleen "...one of America's funniest female comics". In her 22-year career, Madigan has never been hotter. She has won the American Comedy Award and the Phyllis Diller Award for "Best Female Comedian". Although she has turned down many writing jobs because her true passion is performing, Madigan has written and produced for Lewis Black's Root of All Evil on Comedy Central and for Garry Shandling. She remains the only comedian in the history of NBC's Last Comic Standing to go unchallenged by any other comedian. She was a finalist in Season 2 of Last Comic Standing and a judge in Season 5. According to acclaimed comedian Ron White, Kathleen Madigan is "Easily one of the best comics alive".

For tickets ($49.50), call the box office at 203-438-5795, or visit ridgefieldplayhouse.org. The Ridgefield Playhouse is a non-profit performing arts center located at 80 East Ridge, parallel to Main Street, Ridgefield, CT.
