Summary

Today’s guest dialled in all the way from Los Angeles - that’s right! We’re international like that. In this episode London Hughes chats to me all about making it big in America and everything that led up to her hilarious Netflix special, To Catch A D*ck - which involves a pit stop at Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag, and a detour in Edinburgh! She also tells me about what it was like being bullied at school, getting fired from T. G. I. Friday’s, and her first foray into the world of stand-up.
