Christina Gutierrez: "I don’t trust none of you hoes"

Ilse sits down with comic and cultural icon Christina Gutierrez—yes, the one who won at a Canadian casino and used the money to move to London. A literal main character.

They talk standup as healing, immigrant kid ambition, and how comedy becomes armor. Plus: British accents gone wrong, Catholic grandmas, hot horoscopes, and how a purse on stage became a feminist survival tactic.

This one is cozy, cathartic, and extremely funny. Like slipping into PJs while your hot chocolate has chili in it but it kinda works.
