Hook Up Culture is London's flirtiest night out

Conversational comedy night run by jazz musicians

Our monthly mixed bill cabarets are a warm embrace of a night: comedy, music, poetry, and whatever else we feel like celebrating all things LOVE. We want to share the joy, thrill, and fun of romance - whether you’re feeling the anticipatory thrill after a really flirty first date, dramatically yearning for a current crush, or experiencing the soul-warming joy of falling in love with yourself, this is the night for you.

Expect laughs, lust and maybe even a little bit of love... don't forget to submit your crush to our private IG on the night, and who knows, maybe the stars will align? We're here for everyone, but especially the girls, gurls, gworls and gays - keeping it cute since 2024. PoC to the front. All ticket proceeds go to charity!

First time? A few crucial points:

Dress code: We'll be fancy, extra, suited and booted - you don't have to come dressed up but we will be, so why not? Life's short, dress up..

NGL: Every show we invite you to submit your completely anonymous crushes via our NGL page (linked on our Instagram), which we then read out during the show. Please note - this is not a normal Instagram Q box, using the NGL app means we genuinely cannot see who sent something in. If you want to claim your crush on the night then you'll need to make yourself known when we read them out!

The Fuckaround Five: our house band. How many of them will there be tonight? All we know is there has never once been five of them πŸ˜‡

"Fuck around?": we say "Fuck Around?", you say "FIND OUT!
