Singles open mic comedy night

Anyone who says dating is no joke has never been to a Singles open mic comedy night.

 

It was time to take dating off the apps for the night.

 

I was dragging my friend out to a singles only open mic comedy night in London.

 

We were hoping to have a good laugh and some good flirts.

 

After one or maybe 2 too many drinks I did not say no when the host asked me to come up on stage and tell a story 🙈

 

I wasn't prepared for this. What do I talk about???

My friend called out catfish!!

So that's the story I told, streamlined and off the top of my head. 

I even got some laughs.

 

I couldn't believe it.

 

Then by the end of the night I had received a whole load of messages on a dating app from a guy I was pretty certain was another catfish so I couldn't resist getting back up on stage and reading them all out to the crowd. 

 

We then took a photo of the room to send to him.

 

OMG!!! Who am I?

I would never have done anything like this a year ago.

 

Disappointingly there was no men worth flirting with but we did meet some very cool women we got chatting to instead.

 

Although I did discover a 29 year olds phone number saved in my phone in the morning, I vaguely remember getting it.
