Em Rusciano Opens Up About Perimenopause, Anger, and Her Explosive Show Rage Against the Vagine

When comedian, author, and all-round force of nature Em Rusciano joined the podcast, we knew the conversation wouldn’t be quiet — and it absolutely wasn’t.

In this episode, Em sits down with Oldmate & Josh to unpack the raw, funny, and deeply honest reality behind her hit show “Rage Against the Vagine.” What starts as a conversation about comedy quickly opens up into something much bigger: perimenopause, identity shifts, and why so many women feel like their experiences have been ignored or dismissed for decades.

Em doesn’t hold back. She talks about the anger, the absurdity, and the humour in navigating midlife while society pretends it’s not happening. It’s confronting, hilarious, and strangely liberating — exactly the kind of conversation that reminds you comedy can tell truths people are usually too uncomfortable to say out loud.

Oldmate and Josh bring their usual curiosity and chaos to the chat, asking the questions many people are quietly wondering but rarely hear discussed openly. The result is an episode that moves effortlessly between laugh-out-loud moments and genuinely important conversation.

And just when you think the chat couldn’t get better, Em drops an exclusive about her next show — something listeners will definitely want to hear.

This episode is funny, raw, and surprisingly powerful — a reminder that the best comedy often comes from telling the truth about things people have kept quiet for far too long.
