Funny. Fearless. Family. ~ Mary Romeo | Ep. 219

Hey, fellow lushes! On this episode, we sit down with comedian and creative powerhouse Mary Romeo, whose journey took her from working graveyard shifts at a Pennsylvania news station to running beachside comedy mics in LA and co-managing one of America’s most beloved Netflix stars—her cousin, Abbey from Love on the Spectrum. Mary opens up about building her stand-up career the hard way: hustling open mics, running shows in hookah lounges, and creating a pandemic-era staple with the Ocean Mic, a literal comedy show on the sand. We talk about her move to LA, crashing in tents at Coachella, her genius tampon flask trick, and the weird perks of working lemonade stands to score free festival access. Mary also shares what it’s like behind the scenes with Abbey—managing her social media, helping run her business, and watching her rise to fame online and on Logan Paul’s podcast (yep, same day Mary did ours). It’s a wild, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt conversation about chasing dreams, building community, and never being afraid to ask for what you want—even if you’re not ready yet.
