What events are part of the Golden Retriever of Comedy Tour?
Hey, guys. Golden Retriever of Comedy Tour is starting back up in February. February 13th, we kick back off in Orlando, but we're coming to Tampa, Buffalo, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Oklahoma City. The list goes on and on. Go to dansoder.com and see all announced dates. All dates are up, and the tickets are on sale. Go buy tickets right now. I really appreciate it, and I hope you're doing okay.
How tall are you? 5'1". 5'1"? Maybe. Is that where? Maybe.
It started at 5'1 1⁄2", so maybe 5 1⁄2".
Was that ever a moment where you're like, did you hate it being short?
No, I prefer it.
Because you fit everywhere.
You should watch me say Quan Barkley through an airport. Yeah. It's a maze ball. Tall people do not see me. Yeah. I'm almost like a child. Sometimes it's irritating.
Because of the level you're in?
Yeah, but like if I'm standing in line to get on the plane, and it's always dudes. I hate to say it, but women wouldn't do it. Sure. Well, men are a lot taller. Anyway, they'll just walk right by me, and I don't think they're being rude. I do not think they saw me. I'm just like, I'm there. Sometimes I'll yell if Joan's traveling with me. I'm like, I'm a fucking person. Like, God damn you guys.
Oh my God, that little girl got so upset. Where's her parents? Oh my God. I wonder if she emancipated from her family.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, that is a thing where you don't realize. It's the Clark Kent argument. Everyone was always like, Clark Kent, that's so stupid.
How does Kathleen Madigan feel about being short?
You put on glasses, they're going to know it's Superman. And then you see him go. It actually works way better than you think.
You would think, yeah.
I remember one time after a show at Helium in Philadelphia, me and my buddy that was with me on the show went to go get food at a restaurant that was still open. It was like the Thursday night show, so the restaurants were still open. And we walk in and I had glasses at the time. It was before I got LASIK. So I had my glasses on after the show because I don't wear them on stage. And I had my glasses on and this couple from the show was talking to my friend. And they were like, you were great.
What insights does Kathleen share about her experiences in airports?
They were like, what a show. And you know the comic thing where they tell your feature you're great and then you go, well, I hate myself. Right, you were kind of good too. Yeah, but then they were like, where's the guy? I was standing next to him. They were like, where's the guy that... was the headliner. And I was like, that was me. And they're like, oh. And you're like, so I guess glasses do fool people.
They can, I think, alter yourself enough that people don't know.
Yeah. Also, it is like the hiding in plain sight thing where it's like, like you said, people don't even notice you.
No. And if I have my glasses on, if somebody thinks it's me, they'll be like, hey, I think it. I'm like, yeah, all right, you got me. It's like tag. It's like laser tag out in the general public. And I'm like, you got me. You're laser straight. You're right.
But have you ever noticed in the airport the three seconds of thought someone puts in when they look at you and they go... Well, if I make eye contact, it's over now. They're coming.
They're coming for the picture.
If I make eye contact in the airport, I'll go... The confirmation. But sometimes you'll notice it and you go, I have about three seconds to get out of here.
Yeah, I'll tell her. I'm like, there's a guy on the right. He's staring. And it's not like... And then we're... Oh, my fucking biker bar by my house. I go... There's a dude behind you doing really weird shit. He was, like, kind of dancing. Okay. But he looked like Tim McGraw. He was really handsome. Very handsome. Skullcap on, the whole thing. But it's a biker bar. And then I didn't think he was doing it to me, but it was in the direction of me.
Well, he was, like, sexy dancing?
Just, like, trying to get my attention.
Oh, really? Like, goofy. Hey, ladies.
And, you know, I kind of went like that. Like, I don't know what's going on here. But then he came over. He's like... I'm just going to say it. I'm the owner. My name's Craig.
