Without Compromise

Danae Hays: Small Town, Big Stage


Listen Later

In this episode, we sit down with the hilarious and multi-talented Danae Hays—former Division I softball player turned comedian, musician, and viral content creator. Danae opens up about growing up in small-town Morris, Alabama, the early influence of sports on her confidence and creativity, and whether she was, in fact, the funniest one in the dugout. We trace her path from post-college uncertainty to that moment when she realized comedy wasn’t just a side hustle—it was her next homerun.

Danae shares how she crafts her unique blend of Southern charm with unfiltered humor and outrageous characters, what it’s like building a massive online audience, and the highs and lows of life on her very first stand-up tour. Plus: rapid-fire favorites, Southern sayings, and her take on living Without Compromise.
