Madigan\nwas rec ently asked if her career was planned\, “Ah\, no. It’s hard\nto believ e this whole thing started out as a reason to drink and has\nlasted 30 yea rs. What a great drinking accident.” Her most recent\nspecial \"Botherin g Jesus\" is her fifth hour long standup special and\nwill be her third sp ecial to be available on NETFLIX. \"I love working\nwith them. They're the young people. Network TV will need to adapt\nquickly to even have a chanc e to stay in the game. NETFLIX gets it and\nmakes it so easy for us.

We're\nthinking it's because she's so irreplaceable on the stage . She's\ndescribed as the funniest woman doing stand-up right now but no g ender\nqualifier is necessary. Along with Lewis Black\, Brian Regan and Ji m\nGaffigan\, she's one of the funniest stand-up comedians of her\ngenerat ion.\" \"I just want to tell jokes. I didn't start doing open mic\nto beco me an actor on a sitcom or in a TV commercial. Those things\nnever ever cr ossed my mind\,\" Madigan says. \"For a few of us working\,\ntelling jokes was our main goal. I don't have any more goals. Can't\nyou ever have a go al\, reach it and enjoy it? Our society is being\ndriven by type-A lunatic s who say you have to set more goals. Well\nmaybe they do but we all don't . Have a seat\, grab a drink and enjoy\nthe fact you achieved the goal. Ma ybe that's the Irish in me talking\nthough.\" After a recent performance a t the Chicago Theater\, the\nChicago Tribune wrote\, “She has all but pe rfected the art of\ncrafting and delivering a perfect joke. That singular dedication to\nthe craft shows in both the evolution of her material over the years\nand way she can make a complicated joke with a hidden nub of wi sdom\nseem both effortless and offhand.” Madigan has performed\ninternat ionally at festivals in theaters in Ireland\, England\, Hong\nKong\, Austr alia and has filmed seven Montreal Gala Shows at the\nMontreal Comedy Fest ival for CBC TV. \"I never realized how middle\nAmerica I am until perform ing overseas. It all works but needs some\ntweaking when the crowd isn't a ll Americans. It's a good challenge and\nmade me a better comedian.\" She also has joined numerous USO trips to\nentertain troops around the globe\, including Iraq and Afghanistan.\nShe's won the American Comedy Award for \"Best Female Comedian\" and the\nPhyllis Diller award for \"Best Female C omedian.\" She has written and\nproduced for Lewis Black's \"Root of All E vil\" on Comedy Central and\ndone multiple USO tours in Iraq and Afghanist an. \"The USO shows are\nthe best.
