13. Maddie Wiener

Rising comedy star Maddie Wiener and Russell meet up in New Yeawk and chat about what it's like on the comedy circuit over there. The conversation then takes an unexpected but hugely entertaining turn when Maddie chooses to put Wilbur the syphilitic rabbit into the Wonderbox. That springboards us into a chat about the pros and cons about dropping your guts in the Disneyland queue. A festive treat for all.



Maddie's got clips of her stand-up, some of her writing and all sorts on her website, https://www.maddiewiener.com/.

Check it out.
