Madonna Surprises Fans with Foul-Mouthed Comedy Set in New York

NEW YORK, N.Y. — Madonna stunned fans with an unexpected standup comedy performance at the Comedy Cellar in New York City on Saturday night. The 66-year-old pop icon delivered a 30-minute set filled with expletives and a jab at former President Donald Trump, leaving the intimate audience of 150 in disbelief.

According to a source, Madonna was brought to the club by comedian Amy Schumer, a close friend. “She did a full 30-minute set,” the insider revealed. “The audience was so stunned it was Madonna that it took them the entire set to warm up to her. She got laughs every time she dropped an F-bomb because just hearing Madonna curse is funny.”

Madonna also quipped about Trump’s deportation policies, joking, “With all of these Trump deportations, I’m not going to have any staff left.” The remark drew laughter, but the crowd remained largely in awe of her presence. Her boyfriend, Akeem Morris, 28, was reportedly in attendance to support her.

This isn’t Madonna’s first foray into standup comedy. In 2017, she made her debut at the same venue, also accompanied by Schumer. At the time, Madonna shared on social media, “Making my standup debut! What a thrill. Finally busted my cherry. Thank you, Amy!”

The pop star’s appearance comes amid rumors of a possible engagement to Morris. The couple, who went public with their relationship in July, have been dating for six months. Madonna was recently spotted wearing a large diamond ring during a romantic trip with Morris and her six children.

A source close to Madonna told The U.S. Sun, “Madonna is happier than she has been in a long time. Her romance with Akeem has been a real whirlwind, but they are so in love.” The suspected engagement ring is reportedly from the luxury jewelry brand Bijules.

Madonna, who has been married twice before—to actor Sean Penn and director Guy Ritchie—has been candid about her views on marriage. During a 2022 Q&A, she called marrying both men her “worst idea.”

The Material Girl has been embracing life with renewed vigor after a near-fatal bacterial infection in 2023 left her hospitalized. “She wants to live life to the fullest,” the source added.
