Whitney Cummings

Difficult Artist

May 19 2021 • 1 hr 24 mins

Writer, director, comedian, and dog rescuer Whitney Cummings joins Lizzy to talk about how she comes up with her seemingly endless stream of red hot takes. Known for outrageous, incisive comedy exploring relationship dynamics, sexism, and the real hierarchy in Hollywood, Cummings's mind is a mile-a-minute marvel. In this episode she gets into the practices that allow her to create art out of chaos, her "love bombing" philosophy on stand-up, and the origin story behind her drive to do comedy in the first place.
