Join us for a hilarious night of live dating with comedians at Funny Bachelors - where laughter and love collide!
Comedian Frankie Runquist's unhinged dating show arrives in downtown Eau Claire -- where real singles go on actual blind dates live on stage, while a panel of comedians roasts, riffs, and lovingly sabotages the whole thing.
It's part comedy show, part reality dating experiment, and fully chaotic fun. Expect awkward chemistry, bold confessions, red flags disguised as green ones, and maybe -- just maybe -- a mistake worth texting about later.
