You should always take advice from someone who has experience dealing with the situation, unless you’re dealing with a break-up. While making a comical appearance on Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring, Maddie Wiener reflects on her recent breakup, offers an advisory to women about men with clammy hands, and celebrates moving into her first apartment.
Originally from North Carolina and residing in NYC, Maddie Wiener is a stand-up comedian with a style described as “irreverent humor … with a streak of brazenness,” and “abrasive and likable at the same time.” At 22 years old, her stand-up has garnered attention online with over 6 and a half million views on Laugh Factory Hollywood’s Instagram page. Most recently, Maddie was selected as a New Face at the 2021 Just For Laughs festival. She has appeared on You Up with Nikki Glaser on Comedy Central’s Sirius XM channel, was a 2018 semi-finalist for Stand-Up NBC, performed in the 2019 Limestone Comedy Festival, the 2019 Asheville Comedy Festival, and is a regular at Goodnights Comedy Club in her home state of North Carolina, as well as at Zanies Comedy Club and The Laugh Factory in Chicago, IL.
Half-hour stand-up specials have been a staple of the Comedy Central brand since the 90s. Even though the name of the TV show changed a few times and the airings have shifted online. Regardless, they are still alive and going strong.
