Maggie Winters will debut her new comedy special, “Marguerite,” on March 17 on YouTube.
The stand-up hour comes from a partnership between Abso Lutely Productions and comedy talent incubator Upright Citizens Brigade. “Marguerite” was filmed at the UCB Theatre in Los Angeles.
The special is described as a one-woman show “culled from Winters’ life experiences coming of age in Chicago.” Winters first toured the show in Chicago, Los Angeles and New York in 2023 before embarking on a month-long run at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
“Marguerite” is directed by Winters’ proudly Irish brothers Bart and Liam Winters (note that the special debuts on St. Patrick’s Day), who perform as part of Chicago-based band Melkbelly. It’s produced by UCB and Abso Lutely, the banner founded by Tim Heidecker, Eric Wareheim and Dave Kneebone.
“’Marguerite’ is a killer showcase for Maggie Winters’ voice,” said Kneebone in a statement. “It’s sharp, personal, and funny as hell — and it really shows what’s possible when Abso and UCB team up to give artists real support and room to take big swings.”
Winters has opened for comedians including Colin Jost, Conner O’Malley and Meg Stalter, and she recently completed her nationwide Fibs & Friends tour with Connor Wood. In 2023, she was named a Just for Laughs “New Face.”
Winters hosts the podcast “Literally Life Changing With Maggie Winters,” and she can be seen as a recurring cast member on Season 3 of Danny McBride’s HBO comedy “The Righteous Gemstones.”
