About this episode

Paloma Faith interviews Jamali Maddix about comedy, generational trauma, and the complexities of anger and relationships.

When I first met Jamali I wasn’t sure if he liked me or not… so I thought I’d get him on the podcast to find out 🤣 Jamali Maddix is one of the sharpest minds in comedy, saying what we’re all thinking, whether we’re ready to hear it or not. You might’ve seen him on Never Mind The Buzzcocks, QI or 8 Out of 10 Cats, but he’s not just funny… he’s seriously thought-provoking too. From his documentaries like Follow The Leader to appearing on Jimmy Carr’s Am I The A**hole?, Jamali has this way of diving into uncomfortable topics and making them make sense. We get into EVERYTHING in this one… from generational trauma to anger, grief and why it’s okay to not always have the answers. It’s deep, it’s funny, it’s a bit chaotic… basically exactly how I like it. We also talk about whether men can actually be trusted in relationships (👀), if animals cry, and why sometimes anger might not be such a bad thing after all. — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Producer: Emilia Gill Edit Producer: Kat Milsom Assistant Producer: Alex Reed Video: Josh Bennett, Jake Ji and Harry Sawkins Sound: Rafi Amsili Geovannetti Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Exec Producer…
