Smell that? Is that love in the air? No, it’s a mixture of smoke, fumes, soot, other byproducts of combustion, windblown dust, sea salt, pollen, and spores. Yeah, guess who doesn’t have a date this Valentine’s Day. But for those who do and want to make a whole d*mn evening out of it and for the ones who want to “celebrate ironically” (sure) we’ve picked out the best gigs to take your significant other to on Valentine’s Week.
Never Have I Ever – Swati Sachdeva (13 February)
Looking to spice things up? Why not check out Swati Sachdeva’s interactive crowdwork show Never Have I Ever.

One person makes a statement about something they’ve never done before starting with “Never have I ever” (for example: Never have I ever laughed at a dead baby joke). Anyone who has done the action mentioned in the statement has to sip their drink. Sachdeva has taking the game to the stage, and we forsee lots of cheeky fun!
