Pollstar is pleased to announce that this year's show is hosted by Kathleen Madigan - the comedian Lewis Black (a four-time host of the Pollstar Awards) describes as "the funniest woman in America."
Last year was a whirlwind for the only comedian to go unchallenged on NBC's Last Comic Standing (2004). She toured Iraq and Afghanistan as part of a USO tour with Kid Rock, Black and Kellie Pickler; offered a comedic point of view as Dr. Phil's special correspondent; appeared on AMC's Life Coach; and wrote, produced and performed on Black's The Root of All Evil for Comedy Central.
She has won the American Comedy Award for Best Female Comedian and appeared on shows for VH1 and TV Guide Network. Other television appearances include stints on E!, CNN, The Tonight Show (10 appearances), Letterman (5 appearances), The Conan O'Brien Show, HBO (2 of her own specials), Comedy Central, and ESPN.
Madigan also somehow defeated the ever-popular Larry the Cable Guy and other notable funny comics to win the 2007 Sirius Radio Comedy Cup.
She's performed around the world at comedy festivals and in theaters in Ireland, England, Canada and China (that was a disaster feel free to ask her). She was also a writer for Gary Shandling in 2004 and 2005 when he hosted the EMMY'S.
