On this week’s episode of the Dot to Dot podcast I speak to Maddy Anholt. Maddy is a comedian, actor, writer and Ambassador for Women's Aid. Her debut book, How to Leave Your Psychopath is published by Bluebird, Pan Macmillan and out next week (link below). While the book is comic and light hearted it also outlines a range of controlling relationships which classify as abusive in ways that often are not talked about – namely emotional abuse. It’s not uncommon to know people in these relationships, which is what makes the book so valuable - it educates and offers guidance.
Maddy has appeared in sitcoms for BBC Three, BBC One, ITV and Channel 4. She’s had four sell-out solo comedies at Underbelly, Gilded Balloon, Latitude Festival Main Stage, and the Soho Theatre. Maddy also wrote and starred in her own comedy for BBC Radio 4.
Maddy has also been a speaker for over a decade, she was a panellist for The Guardian for International Women’s Day, for Facebook and AllBright.
She tweets @maddy_anholt.
