Madigan has traveled to Iraq and Afghanistan to perform for the troops. She has also done two USO tours with several colleagues including Robin Williams, Lewis Black and John Bowman. Madigan enjoys doing these tours especially because it gives back to the troops that give so much to the people of this country.
“There’s no better show on earth than a show for the troops. Trust me, no crowd is as happy to see a show as 1,000 soldiers in Kabul,” Madigan said in her biography. “I do USO shows at home here in the US too, but the further people are away, the more they appreciate it. I don’t think they get paid enough for a hard job so I like to do something for free when I can.”

Countries Madigan has performed in are Ireland, Hong Kong, England, Australia, and Canada.
