Through the Twilight comes a new entry in the Vampire's Diary...Love Can Suck is a series of improvised teen / vampire love stories for February! This Valentines season, all the teen angst and vampire tropes will be included. Get ready to laugh your fangs out.

Comedy For Valentines — the ultimate Valentine's date night that skips the awkward silences, and passive-aggressive gift debates... and replaces them with non-stop, brutally honest relationship humor that hits way too close to home. Hosted by the sharp-witted Tim X Lee — the former biologist turned comedy veteran who's been delighting smart crowds with clever, observational humor and impeccable timing for years — this show brings just the right mix of brainy laughs and relatable absurdity to set the tone. Headlining the night is Joe Sib, the high-energy storyteller and punk-rock veteran (co-founder of SideOneDummy Records, former frontman of Wax and 22 Jacks) who has mastered the art of turning life's wild detours — from youthful rebellion to modern fatherhood — into hilarious, karmic stand-up gold. Expect raw, engaging stories delivered with infectious enthusiasm and zero filter. Whether you're single and thriving, coupled and questioning everything, or just looking for a Valentine's escape that doesn't involve overpriced prix-fixe dinners, Comedy For Valentines delivers big laughs, zero pressure, and the kind of comedy that reminds you love (and life) is ridiculous in the best way possible.
