A graduate of NYU TSOA and The Second City, she flourished in sketch and improv, which led her to direct her first comedy short, "A.I. Vibrator." Lauren has been standing up across LA's comedy clubs, including Roast Battles at The Comedy Store and The Ontario Improv.
In 2022 she created the Ego Death event, encouraging comedians to have fun through stories and songs, and now she is happy to see it flourish at the Lab, and soon another city near you!
When she isn't inducing LOLs, she's riding her bicycle throughout Los Angeles-- watch out for her!

Papp Johnson
Papp Johnson
Comedy
Apr. 15th, 2010 Papp Johnson touched the stage for the first time and changed comedy forever by winning Sony’s Death at a funeral stand up competition while sitting down. Instead he stood on his incredible storytelliing ability and punchlines that would later carry him onward to Los Angeles, CA. where his legend grew even bigger with several festival appearances (SF Sketchfest, Treefort Comedy Festival, 1865 festival) And if you think he looks fimilar it might be from one of his many commercials with Dunkin Donuts, Samsung, Fox sports or one of his appearances on “That Damn Michael Che” or “Wu-Tang: An American Saga”. No matter what or where you’ve seen him there is no denying that Papp Johnson’s art is timeless.
