AFTER HOURS: Laughs Without Limits W/ Tacarra Williams | The Underground Lounge


Listen Later

The Underground Lounge crew returns for another After Hours session with Holly, Spank, Lou, and special guest Tacarra Williams. Known for her sharp wit and fearless honesty, Tacarra brings her full personality to the table as the conversation moves from comedy to love, parenting, and everything in between.

From the jump, Tacarra sets the tone by opening up about life as a woman in stand-up. She breaks down how comedy doesn’t necessarily help her dating life the way it does for men, why physical attraction matters, and how insecurities often show up when dating as a successful woman. The crew dives into stories about groupies, intimidation, and the unspoken competitiveness between male and female comedians. Tacarra also gives her take on why some promoters book female comics with ulterior motives and how respect comes instantly when you deliver on stage.

The discussion shifts into the craft itself, with Tacarra sharing her strategies for avoiding bombing, how she studies crowds before going up, and why comedy is as healing for the comedian as it is for the audience. She reflects on her start in the game after a failed audition led her toward stand-up, and how teaching in New York gave her the financial stability to pursue comedy on her own terms.

Things get fun and personal as the crew unpacks relationships, intimacy, and preferences. From debates on first-time performance in the bedroom to the importance of foreplay and communication, nothing is off-limits. Tacarra gets candid about what she looks for in a partner at this stage in her life, emphasizing peace, empathy, and shared humor over superficial “types.”

The conversation rounds out with family talk, from raising kids, setting boundaries as a parent, to how financial literacy and support shape the next generation. Tacarra’s transparency about balancing motherhood with comedy adds both heart and humor, reminding everyone that the stage is just one part of her story.

This After Hours is raw, hilarious, and real giving fans an inside look at the challenges, lessons, and laughs that come with being a woman blazing her own trail in comedy.
