Her fellow members of The Mirage's Aces of Comedy series have called Kathleen Madigan "the funniest woman in America" and "one of the best comics alive." She got her start at open mic nights in St. Louis, and since taking on a full-time career in comedy, she has won over audiences  from coast to coast in TV and live performances. She was a hit on NBC's "Last Comic Standing," where she remains the only comedian whom no one has tried to top.
