Lane Moore

Lane Moore is a comedian, writer, actor, and musician. She hosts the show Tinder Live, swiping through dating profiles and baiting potential suitors, with a panel of funny people and a live audience to guide her. She also fronts the band, It Was Romance. And as a writer, Lane Moore has published jokes in The Onion, and offered sex and relationship advice as an editor for Cosmopolitan magazine, where she won a GLAAD award for expanding the magazine's queer coverage. In 2018, Moore released her first book of personal essays, "How To Be Alone: If You Want To, and Even If You Don't." I sat down with Moore for a conversation over our respective laptops during the first month of the coronavirus quarantine to talk about her life and career, how we're adapting to a world without traditional comedy stages, and what it's like for many millions of us to suddenly learn how to be alone. So let's get to it!
