“It’s Love Island meets Whose Line Is It Anyway.”
We believe the two most joyful things in life are:
Watching two strangers make a real connection.
Laughing your head off with your friends.
Looking for Laughs is a live comedy dating show that gives you both.
Whether you’re on a hen night in Glasgow,
a girls’ night out,
on a first date,
looking for date night ideas,
or hitting the Edinburgh Fringe.
A real blind date happens live on stage.
(It’s pre-arranged — you’re safe. You’re here to fall in love with the show.)
The couple remove their blindfolds. They introduce themselves.
It’s awkward at first. Then... something shifts. They connect.
Is this... love?
Before it gets too romantic, our improv comedians burst on stage.
They turn the conversation into fast, funny, totally unscripted comedy sketches.
You’re in on every joke — because it’s all based on the date you just watched.
In the second half, you get to ask the couple ANYTHING!
The show ends with the daters deviding if the want to
DATE or NO DATE, in front of the whole crowd.
Whether you're looking for a unique comedy night in Glasgow,
An alternative Fringe show, or just something unforgettable to do with mates
Looking for Laughs is the funniest night out in town.
