Summary

US comedy megastar Iliza Sheslinger is in the studio! Russell and Iliza talk about the what happens when an audience member drops their guts during a show, a single fingerless glove and the beautiful stench of a closed bar.   Iliza is in the UK right now with her ‘Hard Feelings’ tour. She’s playing the Hammersmith Apollo on the 6th and 8th December, and you can buy those tickets right now from their website here.   If you live in another European country, check out Iliza’s website here to find out when the tour is coming to a city near you.   Russell has a few tickets left this year for his tour, and then he’s off to Australia and New Zealand, because it’s only fair that they get to enjoy the show too. Would those tickets also make good Christmas presents? Why yes they would. Here they are...   Happy days. Have a good week, don’t work too hard, and see you next week for another Wonderbox.   Producer: Dan Atkinson Line Producer: Daisy Knight Exec Producer: James Taylor Composer: Fat Lady Music Learn more about your ad choices.
