First Date with Lauren Compton, a weekly podcast where first impressions will NEVER be forgotten.
Finding a decent person to date is hard work, and comedian/viral content creator Lauren Compton is here to get to the bottom of it. It’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it. Weekly, Lauren invites celebrity guests on to have a first date with her and figures out how many red flags they have, if they’re dateable, AND if there will be a second date! Dating is a wild ride… strap in!
Lauren Compton: The Dallas native has amassed quite the following across all forms of social media with her highly-entertaining content, although her IG bio recommends that you “don’t show your mom.” Actress and standup comedian known for appearing on Showtime’s I’m Dying Up Here and HBO’s Here, Now. She also earned a leading role in the Justin Lin feature film HELP. Compton is a regular performer at various high-profile comedy clubs, including Comedy Mothership and Hollywood Improv.
This week, Compton’s welcomes back stand-up comedian/actor Ian Fidance.
Ian kicks off the episode with red flags, but we appreciate his dedication to cigarettes and yellow cabs. After a lot of laughs and poop talk, Lauren gets to know the real Ian. He gets into his desire for meaningful connections, quality time, and honesty. During the Tasting Menu, Lauren and Ian teach each other some new things- enter Daddy Rorschach. To wrap up the episode, Ian shares some top-quality romance and thoughtfulness he brings to relationships.
A popular guest on both SiriusXM radio’s “The Bennington Show” and the Anthony Cumia Show with Artie Lange, he’s been featured in the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival, as well as the Boston, Brooklyn, and New York Comedy Festivals, written & performed in sketches for Above Average, Conde Nast, and Funny or Die, was commissioned by Nike to write & star in a live media presentation for their “Hyper” line of athletic wear, and made his stand up TV debut on the third season of AXS TV’s “Gotham Comedy Live.”
After working a million jobs while growing up an only child to a single mother in Delaware, Ian has grown to be a live force and a stand-out stand-up with a fresh, positive voice in comedy. He can be seen nightly riding his bike(cycle) everywhere sharing his unique point of view and wild stories at places like New York Comedy Club, The Stand, UCB Theatre, the Creek & the Cave, Union Hall, and The Bell House. Every month he hosts a live stand-up & animation show called “Picture This!” at Union Hall in Brooklyn. He’ll hit the road often playing clubs, colleges, and independent venues all across the country, but will usually use his car for that.
