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, Elyse Myers joins Lauren to break down the relationship that started with a flight to Kansas… and turned into a marriage.
Elyse talks about knowing he was “the one” early on, only to feel completely friend-zoned, navigating mixed signals, and seeing two totally different sides of her now-husband. They get into the reality of conflict in relationships, the struggle of apologizing, and how honest communication can accidentally turn into something deeply healing.
Plus—fast food love, a proposal story, and what it’s really like being married to someone you don’t always like.
