Stand-Up Comedian Lauren Allen hangs out with us to talk about life inside the Austin comedy scene, running The Suicide Mic, and what it’s really like being a woman who isn’t afraid to be loud, honest, and completely unfiltered in a world full of fragile egos. Lauren shares stories about bouncing between open mics, getting pulled into the Kill Tony orbit, and why comedians who love being roasted on big stages suddenly get uncomfortable when someone gives them real feedback in person.

The conversation moves through weird show experiences, backstage politics, and how quickly reputations form in comedy — especially when you refuse to play nice or follow the usual rules. Along the way, Lauren explains the story behind calling herself a “Dead Daddy’s Girl,” how humor shapes the way she deals with everything from grief to dating, and why leaning into who you are is often the fastest way to both stand out and get people talking.

In this episode, we also talk about:

* Running The Suicide Mic and dealing with comic backlash

* The Kill Tony scene and why humiliation is part of the culture

* Where the “Dead Daddy’s Girl” nickname comes from

* What it’s like being labeled and talked about in Austin comedy

* Why being honest can make you controversial onstage
