Lauren Compton is back for her third First Date with comedian Ian Fidance and somehow it’s even more unhinged. They get into his show Ian Do, his favorite random jobs, becoming a tattoo artist for a day, and the important question — when does a busy comic find “pleasure time”? Ian’s mom delivers some lovely commentary, Lauren’s goth-era photos resurface, and a Nirvana conspiracy theory enters the chat.
Plus: weird eating rituals (don’t let Ian touch the food), girls loving gross things, imaginary friends, cigarettes & tobacco, taking yourself out, and… is Lauren pregnant again?!
