On this episode of First Date, host Lauren Compton sits down with Eleanor Kerrigan for a hilarious and brutally honest conversation about love and stand-up. Eleanor talks about growing up in a tight-knit family with nine siblings, almost getting married three times, and what it was really like being engaged to Andrew Dice Clay — including his unforgettable proposal. She shares stories about her first fiancé, wild dating experiences, and fans trying to shoot their shot. The episode also dives into her unexpected path into comedy, grinding open mics, getting booed in a stadium, and life on tour.
