Hecklers Happy Hour pulled out a Valentine's Day twist — audience members wrote love and dating questions on cards, dropped them in a bucket, and comics had to deal with whatever came out. And comics handed out prizes to their favorite hecklers!
Yarnmaze warmed things up with a Bad Bunny halftime confession, her nephew's banned Spanish class name attempts, and the night's first bucket pull: "What are some healthy ways to talk through a disagreement?" Her answer: "The silent treatment."
Lauren Warwick turned crowd work into collateral damage — one-line impressions of audience members' moms, a Hinge couple barely six months in who won the prize just for surviving, and a love bucket question about getting a husband to listen (her suggestion: try a different husband).
Dave Ramos opened in full Spanish and rapped a Bad Bunny song before revealing what song was actually about. The love bucket gave him gold: someone's worst sex story request got "I would if I could — haven't had one in two years," and a woman's my-man-steals-my-lady-razors confession got "We need them." His ICE raid story — getting shoved aside by an agent who mistook him for Puerto Rican — had the room laughing and wincing simultaneously. The Taco Bell closer destroyed.
Jan Slavin brought the ukulele and a lifetime of not caring what anyone thinks. She sang about disappearing eyebrows, roasted department stores for only carrying celebrity brands, and shared her adventures on senior-focused dating apps. A love bucket question about a certain adventurous bedroom request got her best deadpan of the night — delivered with the authority of someone who has nothing left to prove.
Melvin Stewart headlined by coaching a boyfriend not to agree with his girlfriend — the guy agreed anyway, and Melvin told him he'd just sealed his fate for the year. His Dollar Tree anniversary gift reveal had the room screaming, and his wife's first-date home-defense confession was somehow the most romantic moment of the entire Valentine's show.
⭐ Highlight: “The love bucket pulling double duty — Dave drawing "worst sex story" and pausing just long enough for the room to lean in before admitting he had nothing to report in two years, then Jan drawing a question about bedroom boundaries and responding with a one-liner about the realities of aging that had the younger couples looking at each other in horror.”
