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, TX 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.
On this week’s episode, Comedian Joe DeRosa joins Lauren Compton for a chaotic and painfully honest episode of First Date. Joe talks about officially moving to Austin full-time, life after heartbreak, surviving dating apps with absolutely zero matches, and figuring out who he actually is now. They get into bad flirting, people using people, why paddle boarding is terrible, the sacred art of the bar crawl, and the difference between trying to impress someone versus actually vibing with them. Joe’s new podcast Vile & Horrendous is out now on YouTube through YMH Studios and everywhere podcasts are available.
