357 - Athena Kugblenu

Athena Kugblenu is an impassioned and very funny comic, intent on making people laugh even when they disagree with her.  We talk about joining the comedy circuit from a successful career in the public sector, why she doesn’t debate on Facebook, affinity bias and assimilation.  We also cover why she loves changing her mind, and good honest graft.25 minutes of extra content available exclusively to members of the Insiders Club include Athena on why she no longer wants a career in politics, adaptability, and the niche overlap between comics and writers…. Go to www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders for this and much more, including the exclusive Insiders Q&A with James Acaster.Catch up with Athena:Follow @athenakugblenu on twitter and instagram.www.athenakugblenu.comwww.athenakugblenu.com/podcast for more news on her podcast “Keeping Athena Company”Everything Stu's up to:The Infinite Sofa chat show is now available as a solution to remote-working office parties over the festive period and beyond!
