Stand-up comedian and TV personality Kathleen Madigan will take the stage at the Christopher Cohan Performing Arts Center Jan. 16.
Madigan has made guest appearances on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “The Late Show with David Letterman” and “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” — to name a few. Her observational comedy is in-demand with both live and at-home audiences.
Madigan holds her own against other comedians she works with on television and on tour. Cal Poly Arts Director Steve Lerian described her comedic style as smart, witty and reminded him of Seinfeld.
“She looks at the world around her and has an interesting take on it,” Lerian said. “She uses everyday circumstances and makes them funny.”
Though Madigan’s 25-year career has taken her many places, this will be her first appearance at the PAC. Lerian said her sharp and honest comedy will delight the San Luis Obispo community.
“Her observations are universal,” Lerian said. “So Cal Poly students would be able to relate to them, as well as older demographics.”
For those unable to make the show or just wanting more, Madigan’s newest project “Madigan Again” is available on Netflix.
The show starts at 8 p.m. and tickets are available on the Polytix website. Some content may not be appropriate for those under age 15.
