Summary

The Dark Queen, Adrienne Iapalucci joins Bridget for a hilarious conversation about having a love-hate relationship with comedy, constantly contemplating quitting, being fearless when tackling controversial topics, the inability to be a conventional employee, and why Adrienne loves pissing people off. They cover drug escapades, allowing politics to divide families, being “white lady nuts,” career aspirations, and how her new comedy special The Dark Queen, directed by Louis CK and produced by Ari Shaffir, came together.
