Kathleen Madigan thinks it, says it, and comedy happens

It is just a couple of days after the Golden Globes and a few days before Kathleen Madigan’s “Boxed Wine & Bigfoot Tour” is set to kick off. Oprah Winfrey’s speech at the awards gala has prompted buzz about a potential presidential run, and Madigan isn’t having it. As a 30-year veteran of stand-up, she’s already got what sounds like a stage-ready riff.

“I can’t have Oprah for four years,” she says, speaking from her home in Ozark, Mo. “I don’t want to be my best self. I don’t want to be motivated. I don’t want to find a dream. All my dreams are horrifying in one way or another. I don’t want a dream.”
