Past Flames

As we gear up for Valentine's Day, we’re bringing you Past Flames, a celebration of all the bullets dodged in the pursuit of love. Get ready for an unforgettable night of comedy, where 20 of New York’s funniest comics bring their hottest takes on past lovers, bad first dates, hookups, situationships, and everything in between—no holds barred.

From cringe-worthy first dates to the messiness of modern relationships, you’ll hear it all as these comedians serve up laughs, honesty, and maybe a little too much truth. But that’s not all. Expect sultry burlesque from the talented Scarlett Spell, one of New York’s best, plus a few unexpected surprises that will keep you on your toes.

Hosted by Michael Larkin and Erik Martini, with comics Papirossa, Michelladonna, Tina Hand, Jabari Elzie, Ava Whiteley, John Robles, Freddie Shanel, Jonnea Herman, Alvaro Chavez, Tori Morancay, Lily Armstrong, Matthew Abraham, Tej Khanna, Brian Buseck, Ái Vy Luu, Allison O’Conor, Emily Wirth, Grant Gibbs, and Bini Yamin.

Plus, special acts from Scarlett Spell, Dan Harris, Max Whaley, and Toby Kafin.

In Partnership with Primarily BK and Mesh.

It’s the perfect pre-Valentine’s event—whether you’re happily in love, happily single, or just here for the laughs. Come for the comedy, stay for the chaos!
