Lauren's story is one of transformation. Born in Kansas City, Missouri
she showed an interest in the arts from an early age. She was a
published poet by the age of ten and attended the University of
Missouri-Kansas City's summer play writing course on scholarship when
she was fourteen. She later studied Classical Music Composition and
Piano at the University. After college her career goals went in a
completely different direction. She moved to San Diego in 1998 and
ran a successful photography and graphic design firm for ten years. In 2011
Lauren began a transformation which can only be described as life-altering
losing 70lbs over the course of a year and finding the courage and confidence to
begin her life over as an actress, voice over artist, and stand-up
comic. Lauren spent four years doing stand-up comedy
before moving to Los Angeles where she switched over to Improv
ultimately graduating from The Second City Hollywood. "Stand-up has been
amazing for me. It gave me the courage and toughness to handle
anything, and the agility to be prepared for it." ~Lauren Holiday
