Asbury Park Announces Kathleen Madigan: Boxed Wine & Bigfoot
By: Julie Musbach
Paramount Theatre presents Kathleen Madigan: Boxed Wine & Bigfoot. Longtime stand-up star Kathleen Madigan makes a welcome return to NJPAC with her hilarious new show, Boxed Wine & Bigfoot.
For more than 25 years, Kathleen Madigan has been one of America's most reliable stand-up performers. She's been on virtually every top late-night show (including a whopping 25 appearances on The Tonight Show) and has starred in her own acclaimed specials for Showtime, HBO, and Comedy Central. In her most recent Netflix special, Bothering Jesus, she riffs on everything from religion and drinking to growing up in Missouri and anything to do with bacon.
"Madigan has been described as the funniest woman doing stand-up right now, but no gender qualifier is necessary," says Detroit Free Press. "Along with Lewis Black, Brian Regan and Jim Gaffigan, she's one of the funniest stand-up comedians of her generation."Asbury Park, which sits 50 minutes from Yew York's Lincoln Tunnel and an hour from Philadelphia by car, is a city on the rise. In 2017 it has been the recipient of an avalanche of media including being named 'Coolest Small Town in America' by Budget Travel Magazine and 'Best Boardwalk in America' from Bella Magazine. Eater states "Asbury Park has become the hottest dining destination", one of the 'Best Place to Travel Worldwide" by Travel + Leisure, "16 Places everyone will be talking about in 2017, by Yahoo, and 'Best Weekend Getaway' by Timeout, just to name a few. Madison Marquette has long been leading the redevelopment of the Asbury Park Boardwalk, one of the most beautiful waterfronts on the Eastern seaboard, with a remarkable 400,000+ square foot re-imagination of the historic boardwalk. The Asbury Park Boardwalk offers unique full-scale restaurants and lounges, numerous specialty food concepts, and innovative boutiques that fill 80,000+ square feet of retail space. Madison Marquette brings top tier talent to nationally-recognized entertainment venues on the Asbury Park Waterfront including Convention Hall, Paramount Theatre, Wonder Bar, and the world-famous Stone Pony. A truly thriving musical community, this storied city by the sea enjoys unparalleled historic architecture and a rich history as one of the most famous resort destinations of the 20th century.
