LaughFest brought Kathleen Madigan back to Grand Rapids for her second visit and once again this comedian with the Midwest mentality did not disappoint! Kathleen had plenty of material that was fresh and different from her appearance here at LaughFest last year. Just finishing a second USO tour overseas with fellow comedian Lewis Black, she had plenty of material to work with in sharing her life experiences with the audience.
