EVENT DETAILS |
Maybe you love Valentine's Day. Maybe you think it's part of an oppressive system suggesting that all women be placated with flowers and jewelry (yes to the jewels we'll pawn those for cash thx). Or maybe it reminds you how long it's been since you got laid. Whether you adore observing the holiday or would prefer to ignore its very existence, Bustle and Blogologues' "One Night Stand" event on Feb. 11 will help you kick off the celebration (or lack thereof).
Bustle is partnering with Allison Goldberg & Jen Jamula, founders of the Internet-themed comedy show Blogologues, to create a one-night celebration of women in comedy, and it promises to be more satisfying than the mediocre date or self-administered orgasm you were planning on instead. Jen and Alli will host a hilarious lineup of the best female comedians including Phoebe Robinson, Aparna Nancherla, Lane Moore, Ashley Gavin, and Katrina Braxton, as they talk about online dating, vaginas, and surprising sexism.
The show starts at 8:00 PM but come at 7:00 PM and join us for some cocktails to kick off Valentine's Day weekend.
50% of the event's proceeds will be donated to Planned Parenthood.
