Comedian/Broadcaster

MAUREEN LANGAN is an internationally acclaimed standup comedian, broadcaster, Tedx Talk speaker and corporate event host who was a semifinalist on Season 18 of America’s Got Talent. The audience and judges loved her, giving her a standing ovation and four “yeses!”

Maureen’s intelligent and hysterical rants on life’s absurdities make her a hit at clubs, theaters and festivals across the U.S., Canada, U.K, Europe, the Balkans and South Africa.

She has performed with entertainment, literary and cultural icons that include Robin Williams, Jay Leno, Rosie O’Donnell, Jack Canfield, Joy Behar, Gloria Steinem, Danny Glover and Gladys Knight ­– and she roasted comedy royalty Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. In addition to America’s Got Talent, her on-screen appearances include, Dry Bar Comedy, Gotham Live, HBO, Red Eye, Comics Unleashed, the Paramount Pictures film Marci X, and many national commercials.

As a broadcaster, Maureen created and hosted Bloomberg Television and Radio’s award-winning entertainment programming, where her most memorable moments were interviewing Joan Rivers and George Carlin. Her astute observations and interviewing style earned her the title of “Best Female Commentator” by the Newswomen’s Club of New York.

Her TEDx Talk, “The Business of Fun,” is inspired by her time performing in South Africa at the first ever Johannesburg International Comedy Festival. Maureen’s message of inclusion had 600 people on their feet when first presented at Monmouth University.

Daughter of a Garbageman is Maureen’s solo show about growing up in New Jersey with five siblings, a strict Irish mother, and a Bronx-born, sanitation worker father. The show had an extended run in Edinburgh, Scotland before making its U.S. debut in San Francisco, where it was hailed as a “one woman tour-de-force.”

Maureen can be heard on Tuesdays at 11am ET hosting BadAss Women, a radio talk show on WBAI 99.5 FM in New York City.

Her comedy special, Don’t Make Me Hate You, is available at Dry Bar Comedy.
