During the final leg of The Rebel Heart Tour, Madonna performed TEARS OF A CLOWN on March 10th, 2016 in Melbourne, Australia. (She started four hours late, so technically it was probably March 11th) She dressed up as a clown, she burst onto the stage in a tricycle and performed stripped down versions of her songs, told stories and some "jokes."Luckily, you don't have to wait four hours to listen to our podcast with comedian/actor/CLOWN, JULIA VANDERVEEN!Thanks to E.N.K.

Live from New York... it's Madonna, the sketch comedian? Madonna first hosted Saturday Night Live in 1985 when she was just a baby! She returned as the musical guest in 1993, and she's made several iconic, (and some not so iconic) guest/cameo appearances throughout the years. And we're talking about all of them! Joining us is actor/writer/director/sketch teacher/comedian, NATE SMITH! He's our first straight male guest, but don't worry, he's very dreamy! (which is perfect for a podcast)FUN FACT: If you try to watch the episode Madonna hosted on Peacock.com, it's only 19 minutes, and Madonna barely appears in it. (A hate crime from Lorne Michaels) But fear not, dear listeners, we not only searched the dark web but we've found the episode!
