CRITIC'S PICK:
Sat., Feb. 28
Kathleen Madigan, Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center - The pint-sized midwesterner no relation graduated from college as a journalist but soon found her true calling as a stand-up comedian. Lucky for us! Madigan has been at it for three decades and is a frequent visitor to Atlanta with sell-out shows. Dubbed the "funniest woman in America" by the great Lewis Black, Madigan, 60, has a new Netflix special titled 'Bothering Jesus' - which is hilarious - and is a regular guest on late-night television. - Kevin C.

From the venue:
Comedian Kathleen Madigan announces her 2026 dates for her THE DAY DRINKING TOUR and will bring the tour to Cobb Energy Centre on Saturday, Febryuary 28. As a premiere stand-up comedian for the last three decades, Madigan sells out marquee theaters across the country, and is one of the few female comedians to tour over 250 days a year.
When asked how she came up with the tour name Madigan said, "I'm a big fan of day drinking. No crowds, cheaper drinks, home by 4pm for a solid nap and by 5pm it's as if nothing even happened." She continues, “You get the best of both worlds and you’ll have plenty of time to make it to my show.”
Coming from a long line of Midwestern union workers, Madigan has always approached stand-up as a job and by doing so has established herself as one of the most successful road comics ever.
