Valentine's Improv Comedy: How We First Met February 14, 2013

Three lucky couples will tell their stories before hundreds when HOW WE FIRST MET, the hilarious hit improv comedy show inspired by real-life tales of romance, descends like Cupid through the clouds on San Francisco's Marines' Memorial Theatre for one night only on February 14, 2013.

Now in its thirteenth smash year, HOW WE FIRST MET is an uplifting, one-of-a-kind theatrical experience that has been making Valentine's Day memorable for audiences in cities as diverse as San Francisco, New York, Tokyo and Melbourne since 2001.

"HOW WE FIRST MET is the perfect way to celebrate Valentine's Day whether you're on a blind date, going steady or have been married for longer than you can possibly imagine," said San Francisco producer/comedian Jill Bourque, who dreamed up the idea for the show and serves as its emcee.

In each performance of HOW WE FIRST MET, Jill interviews three couples live on stage about how they got together while a team of brilliant performers transforms pivotal moments from each real-life romantic rendezvous into improvised sketches and songs.

The show features the talents of improv actors Laura Derry, Paul Erskine, Scott Keck, and Deborah Wade, and keyboardist Jerome Rossen. New this year is the added talent of the sensational improv hip-hop group, The Freeze.


HOW WE FIRST MET came into being as a one-off Valentine's Day event at San Francisco's Bayfront Theatre in 2001 and has grown to play in dozens of cities worldwide. Over the years, the show has featured a vast array of couples representing all walks of life -- from gay to straight, liberal to conservative and new to longtime - all united by a common desire to celebrate through laughter what makes love come alive.
