Al Madrigal

Best known as a correspondent on THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART, homegrown SF comedian Al Madrigal’s stand-up career took off when he won a JURY AWARD FOR BEST STAND-UP COMIC at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival. He’s performed stand-up multiple times on THE TONIGHT SHOW, JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE and CONAN O’BRIEN. His first one hour special, WHY IS THE RABBIT CRYING? premiered on Comedy Central and was named one of the top 10 comedy specials of that year by both Westword and The Village Voice. Just after his award-winning docu-comedy HALF LIKE ME was released, his next comedy special, SHRIMPIN’ AIN’T EASY was named in Decider and Vulture’s top 10 lists. In an article titled “The Best Stand-Up TV Right Now,” Rolling Stone Magazine said, “The Daily Show alum spins comedy gold.”
