On 9 December 2026, Bar Rumba in London hosts Singles Open Mic Comedy Night, gathering around sixty single locals to share their most awkward dating tales. The evening features improvised sets from audience members recounting everything from ghosting stories to outrageous messages received on modern apps. Attendees can either step up to the microphone to perform their own disaster or simply grab a drink and laugh at the collective embarrassment of the room. With its focus on real-life relationship mishaps, the show promises an intimate and hilariously self-deprecating atmosphere for anyone who has ever felt awkward on a first date.
Think dating is funny? Wait until you hear some of the stories.
Join us for Singles Open Mic Comedy — a unique night where comedy, dating disasters and meeting new people come together for one hilarious evening in the heart of London.
Taking place at Bar Rumba, Leicester Square, we're bringing together around 60 London singles for a night celebrating the awkward, bizarre, embarrassing and downright unbelievable experiences that come with modern dating.
Got a dating story that deserves an audience? Take to the microphone and share it. Prefer to keep your dating disasters private? Grab a drink, sit back and enjoy everyone else's.
Expect terrible first dates, dating app disasters, ghosting stories, awkward encounters, outrageous messages and those moments that seemed awful at the time but are absolutely hilarious now.
But this isn't just a comedy night — it's also a singles event.
With around 60 people attending and a balanced mix of men and women, there'll be plenty of opportunities to mingle and meet new people before, during and after the comedy.
There are no timed dates, no seating plans and no awkward introductions. Just a relaxed atmosphere, plenty of laughs and a room full of people who already have one thing in common — they're single.
And because good dating stories are even better with cheap drinks, Happy Hour runs throughout the evening, with selected beer, wine and cocktails available from just £2.50.
Once the comedy finishes, you don't have to head home. Stick around for drinks, music and socialising as Bar Rumba turns up the volume for the rest of the night.
After the event, log in to your DateinaDash account to review the people you met, discover your mutual matches and continue conversations through private messaging.
Dating might be a disaster. At least you can get a good story out of it.
