London Hughes Returns

Earwolf & Jameela Jamil
About this episode

This week, Jameela is joined by comedian, writer, actress and NEW author, London Hughes! We hear the real-life stories, mess & chaos of dreaming big as London recounts her steps (and knockbacks) in the UK comedy & entertainment world, and how she remains resilient despite circumstances beyond her control. Jameela & London discuss everything from Beyoncé to The Pussycat Dolls, how empty we can feel experiencing success, cancel culture antics over the years, and we’ll never look at puppeteers in the same way again.


 

London's new book 'Living My Best Life, Hun' is out now. Follow her on IG @thelondonhughes and Twitter @thelondonhughes
