Out to Lunch: In Improvised Love Is Blind, contestants fall in love without ever seeing each other—until they do. What starts as emotional connection quickly spirals into chaos, bad decisions, and unexpected chemistry. From pod confessions to dramatic reveals and messy weddings, every moment is completely improvised—and nothing goes as planned. We’re a longform improv team that’s been performing together for nearly four years, recently welcoming new members into the mix. Our style blends strong characters, grounded relationships, and bold choices—often inspired by the chaos of real-life dating. Together, we create fast-paced, unscripted stories where connection, conflict, and comedy collide. Performers: Melanie Ballance, Paru Patel, Jenna Najjar, Lucy Weyer, Mike Li, Tara Regan, and Shelly Sabhikhi.

Tickets: $8 at the door
