Mike Falzone’s Human Romance Show Is Back
Comedian Mike Falzone is calling it quits on awkward Tinder swipes and bad first dates. In a new Instagram post, he announced, “The Human Romance Show, where the bar is high… but sometimes too high. 😅 Catch our next show THIS FRIDAY at @thecomedystore! Ditch that Tinder date that’s going horribly and come maybe meet the real love of your life? 👀🤷 #comedystore #lacomedy #laevents #mikefalzone.”
Falzone’s off-beat dating variety show blends stand-up comedy with an onstage matchmaking experience. Held once a month at The Comedy Store on Sunset Boulevard, the event features pre-screened singles performing quick comedic bits before being paired with potential matches. Audience members vote for their favorite pairings in real time, all while Falzone keeps the energy high between rounds.
Showtimes And Tickets
The next installment of The Human Romance Show takes place this Friday at 8:30 p.m. Pacific. Tickets are available through The Comedy Store’s website and typically range from $15 to $25, depending on seat location. Doors open 30 minutes before showtime for early arrivals hoping to mingle at the pop-up photo station styled like a retro dating app interface.
Falzone’s Instagram image from the announcement shows him onstage beneath bright spotlights, a bemused expression on his face as he holds a giant Tinder-style card prop. The shot captures the show’s playful tone: part comedy set, part interactive dating experiment.
Why It’s Different From Tinder
In an earlier Instagram post promoting the series, Falzone asked, “What makes @humanromanceshow different from other dating shows and every app on your phone? We know you’re tired of swiping so let us hook you up. We only do this once a month so don’t miss out!”
Rather than profiles and direct messages, The Human Romance Show brings real people under one roof—no algorithms involved. Participants audition with a short comedic routine, giving them a chance to show personality before hitting it off. Audience voting adds a communal element, turning what’s often a solitary experience into shared live entertainment.
Past episodes have featured themes like “First Date Disasters” and “Ex-Texted Karaoke,” pushing contestants into hilarious onstage scenarios. Falzone’s quick-wit hosting style keeps the pace brisk, while surprise segments—like blindfolded speed-draw portraits—keep both participants and spectators guessing.
Falzone’s Upcoming Special
Falzone isn’t just matching singles—he’s also stepping into the spotlight with a new stand-up special. In a January Instagram post, he wrote, “My first half hour special comes out tomorrow on @800pgm.” Early viewers have praised the special for its mix of observational humor and self-deprecating dating stories, suggesting the live show’s format influences his new material.
That project follows a thank-you post he shared after a television special aired: “Thank you for watching the special. I’m very happy to be here.” Between touring clubs and refining his half-hour set, Falzone uses The Human Romance Show as both a creative playground and community building experiment.
Get Ready To Mingle
If you’ve had enough of dating apps that lead nowhere, Falzone offers a real-time alternative. The Comedy Store’s intimate 200-seat Main Room guarantees a lively crowd and the chance to meet like-minded singles without swiping left or right. And if you’re not in the market for romance? The show still delivers laughs, improv surprises, and stories that’ll have you reliving your own dating debacles.
Whether you leave with a new partner or just a great story for your friends, Mike Falzone’s Human Romance Show promises a night of comedy-fueled possibility. See you this Friday at The Comedy Store—you might just meet your match live onstage.
