I Just Read About That…

[ATTENDED: April 9, 2026] Maddy Kelly

Maddy Kelly is a comedian from New York. As with most unannounced opening acts,

She had a funny setup to the fact that she looks really young.  People ask if she’s still in school and she says no, I do stand up.  The reply is that always amusing.  I also got a real kick out of her blood donation story.  She went to the bathroom after having given blood and the blood hadn’t clotted.  When she told the nurse she bled in the bathroom, the nurse was concerned and asked if it was her first time.

She coupled the age joke with the fact that she’s half Indian and half Irish but that she looks like a teenaged Latina girl.  And her poor all white Irish grandparents who just don’t understand her at all.

She opened the show by asking if anyone was brought there not knowing who the comedian was.  The person who brings you to a show like this just looks at you the whole time trying to see if you’re enjoying it.

After a few minutes of personal jokes she switched to politics and was delightfully brutal to ***mp.  It’s so surprising that someone so good looking could be so evil.

Her political jokes were really funny–coming at the evil folks in charge from a slightly different angle than usual.

Her set was short, but I could have listened to her for twice as long.  I’d like to see her if she comes around again.
