Felicia Madison: Five Things I Wish Someone Told Me When I First Became a Professional Comedian

Once you start you can’t stop. Comedy is a drug, and you get easily addicted. Once when I hadn’t performed in a while because I was on vacation, I became very depressed. I didn’t put two and two together but as soon as I performed the depression lifted. This may sound great, but it probably isn’t the best way to treat depression.

Ihad the distinct pleasure of interviewing Felicia Madison.

Felicia Madison is a mother of three who pokes fun at marriage, motherhood, and life in an affluent part of New York. Felicia graduated from the prestigious University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Biological Basis of Behavior and a Marketing minor, which she jokingly says only qualifies her to sell drugs! It wasn’t until after having her children that she decided to launch her comedy career. Felicia also is the founder of Laughing Affairs, which produces a daytime lunch show, “Laughercise — Come Laugh Your Ass Off,” Comedy for a Cause, private comedy shows for birthdays, showers, corporate events, or wherever is in need of uncontrollable laughter.

Felicia is the New Talent Director and Talent Booker at West Side Comedy Club in New York City where she curates and produces new talent shows called F Comedy Club. She has appeared in her one-woman show, “The Miserable Mrs. Madison” which she wrote and produced, as well as a documentary about her start in comedy called, “Funny Felicia.”. When Felicia isn’t bringing laughs to the Big Apple, you can find her spending time with her children, golfing or exercising. Besides comedy, she is extremely passionate about supporting the ASPCA, Planned Parenthood and The Jewish Museum.
