Working at Netflix to Being on Netflix with Leslie Liao: Funjelah EP 44
Comedian Leslie Liao joins Anjelah this week to talk stand-up—and how sometimes looking ugly on stage actually makes them feel more confident in their sets. Leslie shares how she went from Hollywood mailrooms to Netflix HR, all before realizing her true calling—thanks to a comedy show so bad, she knew she could do it better. Now she’s ride-or-die for the stage (you’ll have to pry the mic from her cold, dead hands). She also gets into her love-hate relationship with journaling and shares how grateful she is for her family, her non-comedy friends, and her super hot Brazilian fiancé.

From Sleeping in Her Car to Owning Multiple Businesses with Katie Cazorla: Funjelah EP 43
On Funjelah this week, Anjelah hangs out with comedian and entrepreneur extraordinaire Katie Cazorla—owner of the Kookaburra Lounge. Katie gets real about the ups and downs of owning several businesses, like last-minute flakes. She shares how attitude is everything: you decide how you feel, and no one else. We also get the wild backstory: she moved to LA after winning a competition, had to sleep in her car, took a sketchy “fun at parties” job, and built a nail salon empire that landed her a reality show. And that nail salon? It’s across from the parking lot she used to park her car in—you know, the one she used to sleep in.

Listener Emails & The Holy Hot Dog: Funjelah EP 42
This week, Anjelah and Danielle dive into listener-submitted Maditudes & Gratitudes, where expired seasonings spark a heated debate (Danielle says never let go) and towing injustices demand rent refunds. They bond over the brilliance of the wheel—specifically, the cheese wheel. Gratitudes flow for wise friends, super-planner moms, and the ability to drop everything for a loved one’s needs. Oh, and the hot dog? It’s the elite meal of the summer.

No Gimmicks, No Trends - Just Stand Up with Ali Siddiq: Funjelah EP 41
Comedian Ali Siddiq joins the podcast fresh off dropping two new YouTube specials — My Two Sons and Rugged. He also executive produced Marcus D. Wiley's new special, Marriage is Major Surgery. Anjelah and Ali swap stories about catching fans trying to record their sets and what really goes into filming a comedy special — including having to reshoot one when the original footage gets lost. For Ali, it’s never been about the paycheck or where his name falls on the lineup. It’s about being honest, telling real stories, and connecting with people through comedy.

So join Anjelah and friends as they share their gratitudes and maditudes and let it out and let it go on “Funjelah.”
