\n

Kathleen Madigan is a veteran stand-up comic who knows what she\u2019s good at and hasn\u2019t wandered too far off the mark. She doesn\u2019t pursue acting gigs, host game shows or writebooks. <\/p>\n

She does do a weekly podcast<\/a>, which gives her an excuse to talk more conversationally about whatever is on her mind, be it cats or beer or food. (She isn\u2019t really political.)<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
