It’s a Love Story: Romance/Comedy Night

Gooey and Silly Night of Romance/Comedy 
–

Following on from the sell-out success of our spooky halloween short story night, a small group of writers and comedians (see line-up) will gather in the gorgeous red velvet basement of Aces and Eights on “the Monday of Valentines” to rapidly write (brave) and read (beautiful) some romantic and funny tales by candlelight.

For cheesy romcom scenes, surreal comedy, earnest love stories, join us for one night only. It’s a love story, baby just say yes xx
