The Friend Request

Comedian Chloe Maddren is joined by her Halloween soulmate, comedian and podcaster Edan McGovern, for a spooky special filled with flirty chaos, messy (and poorly planned) games, and Halloween politics.

The pair, dressed as Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble, talk about their Halloween horror stories, what makes their feet so special and the etiquette of dealing with costume copycats. Between rounds of blueberry bobbing, chaotic (bad) charades, and one sick and twisted spooky dare, they might just answer the real question on everyone’s mind… what if Betty and Wilma kissed? They probably won't but.

The spooky season is finally upon us so this week, Chloe Maddren is joined by the one and only HALLOWEEN MAN! It's Rodney Todd, everyone!!

Actually, we're unsure if he is the only Halloween Man but we do know you may remember him in another role as Christmas Man on The OG Crew!

These two talk all things spooky, from freaky flicks and scary fits to the most frightening thing of all, the notion that someone might not love Halloween... Eeek!!

This week on The Friend Request, Chloe Maddren sits down with comedian Nikki Justice from The OG Crew, who opens up about her PUBLIC breakup with Andrew Hamilton, what it’s like to be autistic making friends and why being a stripper, a mum and a comedian all come with wildly different friendship challenges...

From bikie marriages to psychics, parasocial (crazy) fans and setting firm boundaries, Nikki certainly has a fascinating and unique life story!

We hope you enjoy the borderline compulsive oversharing of two neurodivergent cutie pies

This week on The Friend Request, Chloe Maddren reunites with comedian and ex-con Andrew Hamilton for an episode packed with GOSSIP, suspense, and an unforgettable dare. They touch on the most important news of the week (Taylor and Travis - duh), Hammo admits to his frighteningly obsessive means of motivation, and you know they get into the Yeah Mad Amazon Prime debacle. 

Since Andrew Hamilton is nothing less than a perfect moral compass, Chloe asks him, what should be illegal?

Chloe Maddren is back with fan favourite Alan Fang in this week's episode of The Friend Request! The two revisit their history, explore whether they’re still friends or frenemies, and share some SILLY moments - from a disastrously funny(?) ‘try not to laugh’ game to finally publicly discussing the slap. With Chloe flipping the script on Alan and plenty of teasing along the way, this episode is weird, chaotic and dumb as hell.

For the 100th episode of The Friend Request, Chloe Maddren is joined by comedians Danielle Walker and Elouise Eftos to celebrate in a truely chaotic way. There are balloons, cupcakes, and a lot of love - plus confessions about CRIMES, an improvised ad-read showdown, and a game of “Most Likely To” to test the friendship! Together the trio laugh like maniacs, reflect on whether they are in fact "silly billy girls" and realize they'll probably all go to jail - but at least they’d go together.

A huge thank you to everyone who’s been part of The Friend Request over the past 100 fricken episodes - we love you!
