About this Event
Spend Friday night meeting other singles through live comedy instead of another traditional mixer.
Laughter & Links combines an interactive stand-up experience with hosted conversation rotations and a relaxed closing social designed to make meeting new people feel more natural.
A professional Comedian Host will guide the entire evening, from QR check-in through the comedy segment and conversational rotations.
During Dating in the Dark, a limited number of guests who voluntarily opt in may participate in a seated blindfold conversation on stage. Participants answer light, non-invasive prompts while the comedian keeps the segment playful and respectful.
Blindfold participation is never required. Participants remain seated, may remove the blindfold at any time, and may skip any question.
After the show, guests move into four-person conversation groups inspired by themes from the comedy segment before transitioning into an open social.
The evening concludes with an optional Smart Match Card. Contact details are only exchanged when two attendees independently indicate mutual interest.
Zero-proof seasonal beverages and light refreshments are included with in-person admission.
This event creates opportunities to meet other singles but does not guarantee a match, date, relationship, or specific attendee mix.
