Episode description

As soon as I saw Lane Moore on stage at TEDX, wearing a velvet suit, I was like, "Yep, I need to meet her." And meet we did, on opposites sides of the world, on everyone's favourite app, Zoom! And despite being far away, we found comfort sharing our struggles (and triumphs) over loneliness.

Lane Moore is an award-winning comedian, actor, writer, and musician based in New York City. She is the author of the book How To Be Alone: If You Want To And Even If You Don’t, which her TEDx Talk was based on. 

And she's also single - she hosts a comedy show “Tinder Live!”. I think the Instagram bio sums this concept up perfectly: Created by anti-fuckboy enthusiast @hellolanemoore🖤live comedy show exploring the best of the worst dudes on dating apps.

The questions we cover in this episode: 

  • What has been your journey with loneliness and being alone?
  • Has your relationship with your alone time changed?
  • Why has travelling alone become a thing that requires courage? What do you love about solo travel?
  • How does your comedy show “Tinder Live!” work? What are some standout dating profiles you’ve come across during your show?
