When Kathleen Madigan takes the stage, you’re in hilarious hands. She’s no nonsense, no holds barred, and “no filler, all killer.” The Chicago Tribune says she’s “all but perfected the art of crafting and delivering a perfect joke”—no surprise for a road warrior who’s played to sold-out crowds across the country for nearly 30 years. You’ve seen her on every late night show ever, along with her Netflix special “Bothering Jesus” and Jerry Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.” NJPAC audiences demanded we bring Kathleen back after her last appearance in Newark—come see why. “She makes a lot of sense but not too much sense. Just enough to be hilarious.” –Jerry Seinfeld

New York saxophonist Daniel Bennett plays his CD release concert at the Triad Theater (158 West 72nd St, NYC) on June 26th at 7pm. Timeout New York chronicled Daniel Bennett's pioneering spirit during COVID-19, highlighting Bennett's leadership during the global pandemic. The UK Jazz Journal called Daniel Bennett, "a voice of hope." The Daniel Bennett Group performed over 100 outdoor concerts during the pandemic, playing regularly at the Canary Club, Gertrude NYC, and Tomi Jazz. Daniel Bennett's 2021 album release, "New York Nerve," was conceived outside under snow-covered heat lamps at New York City jazz clubs. The album features Bennett on saxophone, flute and clarinet. The bandleader is joined by bassist Kevin Hailey, guitarist Assaf Kehati, and Koko Bermejo on drums. The quartet was the first jazz group to record in Manhattan after the studios re-opened in 2020. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette described Bennett's new music as, "Modern Jazz, Surf Rock and Avant-Pop." Daniel Bennett is a touring clinician and associate director of the New York Jazz Academy in Times Square. Daniel Bennett recently played woodwinds in 'Blank! The Musical,' the first fully improvised musical to launch on a national stage. The New York Times called the show, "Witty, Likable and Ludicrous!" Daniel Bennett's theatrical works have strongly influenced his eclectic sound and musical storytelling abilities as a bandleader.
