Viral comedian and commentator joins Chava Feigen for a wide-ranging conversation about stand-up, Jewish identity, online backlash, and building an audience of more than one million followers.
Arynne Wexler brings her unapologetic brand of comedy and commentary to Call Her Tatty w/ Chava Feigen, sitting down for a candid conversation about her unconventional journey from Goldman Sachs and the tech world to becoming a viral voice in comedy and conservative media.
During the episode, Wexler opens up about the remarkable growth of her online platform, explaining how she went from roughly 4,000 followers to more than one million in less than two years. She also discusses the decision to walk away from what she once considered her dream job in tech to pursue content creation and comedy full-time.
Wexler takes viewers back to the video that first went viral and explores how her experiences in corporate America unexpectedly prepared her for the pressure of performing stand-up comedy. She shares stories about navigating the stage as a Jewish woman, handling hecklers, maintaining friendships with people who hold different political beliefs, and dealing with the constant criticism that comes with having a large online presence.
The conversation also examines Wexler’s belief that humor can sometimes be more effective than facts or traditional political arguments when attempting to challenge someone’s perspective. Rather than separating comedy from commentary, Wexler has built her platform around using humor to approach cultural and political conversations that can otherwise become deeply polarized.
Host Chava Feigen and Wexler also tackle more serious issues surrounding Jewish identity and the rise of antisemitism in political and online spaces. Wexler offers her perspective on controversial figures including Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens while discussing the challenges of confronting antisemitism within conservative circles.
Despite the heavier subject matter, the episode maintains plenty of humor. Wexler explains why Yom Kippur ranks as her favorite Jewish holiday, reflects on the lessons Goldman Sachs taught her about performing under pressure, and makes the case that more “Jewish hotties” might be exactly what the internet needs.
From leaving corporate America to becoming an internet personality capable of reaching millions, Wexler’s appearance offers an inside look at what it takes to develop a distinctive voice in an increasingly crowded and contentious digital landscape.
The latest episode of Call Her Tatty w/ Chava Feigen featuring Arynne Wexler is available to stream on YouTube.
