This improvisational comedy show finds the comedy in real-life romance. Couples from the audience are interviewed live on stage, and their stories are improvised by hilariously talented improvisers.

What began as a one-time Valentine's show at San Francisco's Bay-front Theater in 2001 has since gone on to play in over a dozen cities in the U.S., Canada, Toronto, Japan, and Australia. Since its inception, the show has featured a wide range of couples, gay, straight, conservative, liberal, married 50 years, and dating three weeks, all sharing a kooky crazy thing called Love.
