Kathleen Madigan: In Other Words [DVD]

It's only fair for me to begin by saying I was already a big Kathleen Madigan fan by the time I discovered this dvd. That said, this video is true to form for Kat: skewering, observant, slightly irreverent, and totally hilarious. A few 'old' jokes, but more new material that hasn't been in any of her other shows. You'll need to watch it more than once so you can start quoting her to your friends. Your *true* friends will "get it".

The Kathy Madigan received on this live stand up show does not have the momentum and energy as we have experienced in the past. Several of the jokes are re-told, perhaps more politically correct, but certainly bumbling. I was amused at her family story telling of liberal parents, then flopping into their "ignorant" right-wing stereotypes. Again, Madigan's own disdain of relationship guru Laura Schlessinger and her opinions of others, are matched with Kathy's own slant. With that, her stereotypes against southern people have gone from the previous pointed cute idiosyncratics, to down-right hateful assasination of Southern character. Listening to the marginal response of the Denver audience, you may understand their own confusion as-to-whats-up-her...? No, I'm an Arizonan, folks....In all fairness, it has its moments, the earlier audio DVD is much more entertaining. I really looked forward to seeing Kathleen live, but now I'll pass. If your from the "Deep North", within all of it's glorious elitism, then you'll enjoy the portions.

Received on time and in excellent condition.

To Onstar: "Lady, I repeat, I'm trapped in the car with my parents". This album is hysterical and infinately quotable. She's intelligent, sarcastic, smart, VERY funny, and will make you tear with laughter. We've listened to it many times and although we know what's coming, it's still hysterical. If you like Ron White you would probably like her. Good political humor, social commentary, with a clean presentation, yet hysterically edgy. She is extrememly sarcastic, with great metaphors about George Bush. I can't wait for her next ablum. "in other words......" She's simply a great giggle over and over again. I HIGHLY recommend her. There are so many good routines, I can't pick one.

She tickles my funny bone. This DVD is an earlier work up of her 2 later ones - but being a big fan I got it from Amazon - used at a ridiculously high price.If you want this DVD new - go to her official website - get it there for $20.00. Much less than I paid for a used one - laughing and kicking myself. Am finding more and more I can get better choice and costs going directly to artists' sites. Always take a second third look at Amazon prices these days is my experience and advice.

I caught a quick clip of Kathleen Madigan in this performance on Comedy Central one day and laughed so hard, I went searching online for any available DVD of the performance. This DVD was even better than I expected. Six of us watched it together one night after dinner and we were in tears with laughter, clutching our sides which hurt from laughing so hard. Kathleen delivers a great performance with exceptional comedic timing, the right amount of irreverance, great political thoughts, and a fun look at some everyday occurrences we can all relate to. This was one of the best comedy DVDs I've ever purchased.

Kathleen Madigan I think is a very under-rated comedienne. She has an amazingly funny take on many real life situations. And her descriptions of her family interactions are truly hilarious. While my favorite of her performances is still "Kathleen Madigan Again" this one is excellent as well.

Kathleen has a very entertaining delivery. I believe this was one of her earlier CDS. Her growth as an entertainer, the topics covered in her later offerings captured our faithful following...waiting for her latest CD. Pat Engebrecht

We really enjoyed this video,she is so funny and I wish she made more videos of her stand up routines.
