So, grab a hot drink (or a love-themed cocktail, no judgment) and dive into this list of shows guaranteed to keep your spirits high all month long!
HOOKUP
FEBRUARY 6th – 15th
A Bad Dog Theatre production in association with Factory Theatre
Want to know what it would be like to date that charming stranger sitting next to you? Hookup takes the lives, likes and dislikes, turn-ons and turn-offs of two random audience members and turns them into a fully unscripted romantic comedy. You’ll hook up, break up, live the single life, and fall in love all over again without ever leaving your seat. Hookup features an all-star cast of some of the city’s hottest (dreamiest!) comedians. If you’re looking for love, laughter, or just weekend plans – Hookup’s got you covered!
