bio

MAUREEN LANGAN is one of the most fearlessly funny comics working today.  Her honesty, high energy, and ability to rant on life’s absurdities make her a comedy standout at clubs and theaters across the country.   Once she takes to the stage it’s clear to see why this feisty female was named one of the "Ten Standout Stand-ups Worth Watching" by Backstage Magazine.  Whether she’s going after celebrities or her own blessed immigrant mother, Langan will have you roaring with laughter.

"Langan made me laugh till I wet my pants.  Not nice for a guy my age.  She is to comedy what James Brown was to soul."
                                         Jerry Stiller, Comedian and Actor

MAUREEN is one of six immaculate conceptions born to Ann, an Irish immigrant, and Hugh, a sanitation worker, from the South Bronx.   She grew up in Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey, where there is no lake.

"With her wonderful Irish background and her feisty streak, Langan would make a great sitcom wife, mom or character.  She’d be a great addition to E! Television or Comedy Central."
                                      Amelia David, Backstage Magazine

MAUREEN opens for The View’s Joy Behar and is a regular at Carolines on Broadway, The Comedy Stop at The Trop in Atlantic City and Las Vegas, and the esteemed NY Friars Club. She has appeared on HBO, WE Television, Comic’s Unleashed, in “Marci X,” a Paramount Pictures film starring Damon Wayans, and in many national commercials.  She was a huge hit at this summer’s comedy festivals in Nantucket, Long Island, and Boston

"Maureen is wry and wicked.  Audiences love her and so do I!"
                                                            
Joy Behar, The View

MAUREEN is also an award-winning television and radio journalist whose exceptional wit earned her the title of Best Female Commentator by the Newswomen’s Club of New York. Her natural talent for satirizing world news and interviewing celebrities led to the hosting of her own nationally-syndicated radio talk show called The Radio Ritas, heard in 12 markets across the country.

MAUREEN was the creator and host of Bloomberg TV and Radio’s award-winning entertainment programming.  Her candid shoot-from-the-hip interviewing style earned her rave reviews.  She’s dished with the likes of Howard Stern, Joan Rivers, Phyllis Diller, and George Carlin.  Her humor, coupled with her journalism background, makes her a popular contributor on the talk show circuit, including Fox, MSNBC, WE Television, The Onion, and WOR Radio.  

MAUREEN hosts corporate events, and donates her time to non-profit organizations, including Planned Parenthood, Women in Communication (WICI), and The Ms. Foundation.   

And there is a serious side to this writer and performer.  MAUREEN writes and performs autobiographical monologues, which have been called “poignant, emotionally-stirring, and unapologetic.  Her solo work can be seen at the Irish Arts Center in New York City and other venues. 

Whether on stage, television or radio, MAUREEN LANGAN delivers.  Give her a microphone and see for yourself.
