Summary

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.

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. Russell is touring the Antipodes in the Springtime!
