Valentine's Day may have a cheesy reputation, but the heart-filled holiday has inspired plenty of great live comedy for devoted couples, optimistic daters and determinedly singletons alike. On Saturday, at Littlefield in Brooklyn, the musicians and improvisers Rebecca Vigil and Evan Kaufman will interview a couple in the audience about the origins of their relationship. They'll be nosing around for interesting details and quirky tidbits to use in their improvised musical, "Your Love, Our Musical."
On Sunday, the venue will also feature Jon Friedman hosting a "Heartbreak Haven" edition of his variety show "The Rejection Show." Normally a selection of rejected professional works, this Valentine's Day edition will instead feature stories and stand-up about lost love. There might even be some country love songs, courtesy of the musical comedy duo the Reformed Whores and the bluegrass band the Defibulators.
Also on Sunday, a group at the Magnet Theater is bringing the world of online dating to the stage with "Swipe Right," an improv show that will use "the language of Tinder, OKCupid, Grindr, Match.com, JDate, Farmers Only, etc. to explore the worlds of two people throughout the duration of their relationship." And for a more traditional night of stand-up, the Stand and New York Comedy Club will both host holiday-themed shows on Sunday.
