NORMAL SINGLES EVENTS vs. DATING IS A JOKE Singles Events: Dating events can be ok, but are usually awkward and dumb and everyone is nervous you leave feeling meh. Comedy Events: Fun! Fills your brain with relaxed/happy chemicals (science!), and you leave feeling great. With Dating is a Joke! You get the best of both worlds. 🥸 Do I have to be single to join? Nope! Almost everyone there is single, but everyone is welcome. Sometimes taken friends come to support their single friends and we're fine with that, too! 🥲 Can I come alone? Absolutely! Most people do. We’re a friendly bunch. Often, you have better odds if you come alone anyway. Our friendly host works hard to make everyone feel safe and comfortable. ❤️ Does it actually work? It does (sometimes!) We regular have people go on irl dates, as well as couples that have been together for months. 🫥 Do I have to participate? All of the games are voluntary. We encourage people to step a little out of their comfort zone, but no participation is required. You can just sit back and enjoy the show. However, our goal is that you feel relaxed enough and the games are low stakes enough that you'll feel comfy joining in. 🫣 I'm shy. Is this only for extroverts? No! You don't have to get up on stage. You don't have to be in front of anyone. We also have 1-on-1 and crowd activities you can participate in. We want everyone to feel comfortable. You will say at least two words to someone new. 🎟️ What does it cost? This is a ticketed show. You need a paid ticket to enter.
