Summary

I catch up with Iliza Shlesinger, an award-winning comedian, actor, writer, producer, and author with *six* Netflix specials under her belt!

We discuss merging silliness with opinionated social commentary within her new show, Hot Forever, which comes to London next month, the "gauntlet" of working within the showbiz world and performing across the world to people of different political beliefs.

20 mins of extras available exclusively to members of the Insiders Club, this includes us talking about being a successful comedian on a feature film set as well as managing friendships while having an incredible work ethic and being a parent.
