Has your partner ever moaned that you never do anything fun on Valentine’s Day? This is your redemption arc. Or if it's your first Feb 14th together forget the candlelit dinners- give them a night of proper laughs instead.
Here’s who’s bringing the chaos, charm and comedy:
Mark Black – Scotland’s hottest comedy phenomenon. Sold out the Glasgow Pavilion Theatre and the SEC Armadillo — and that’s before he even got his Valentine’s suit dry-cleaned. A powerhouse of mischief and charisma, Mark’s the perfect headliner for a night of big love and bigger laughs.
Ross Leslie – One of Scotland’s top circuit comedians, with credits including BBC’s The Comedy Underground and Scottish Comedian of the Year finalist. Natural warmth, killer timing, and the only host capable of keeping this mob semi-under-control.
Stephen Buchanan – BBC New Comedy Award Winner, star of Scot Squad, and co-host of the Some Laugh Podcast, one of Scotland’s funniest pods. Expect razor-sharp, perfectly awkward brilliance.
Tamsyn Kelly – BBC New Comedy Award Finalist, rising star and unapologetic force of nature. Sharp, fierce, and very possibly the funniest person to ever bring Cornish energy to Alloa.
Ryan Cullen – Dark, daft, and dangerously funny. Fresh from The LA Comedy Show, where Tony Hinchcliffe hailed his roast battle as “the best I’ve ever seen.”
Plus, one mystery guest — and trust us, you’ll definitely want to be in the room when they appear.
Expect hilarious chaos, twisted romance, and a night way more memorable than another box of chocolates.
