Maddie Wiener started performing stand-up at age 16. Now, at age 25, she headlines clubs and is a fixture at the Comedy Cellar. Maddie was recently a special guest on Mike’s recent shows at The Wilbur in Boston and now they sit down for a chat about the relationship between anxiety and comedy. Mike helps Maddie develop a story about a panic attack. Plus, the wisdom Maddie learned from Nikki Glaser, and why “Hey, can we talk?” is the scariest text you can get.
