An Edinburgh event is hoping to go against everything Valentine’s Day stands for, with an array of comedians all under one roof.
Anti-Valentines Day, held on February 14 (obviously), hopes to avoid ‘smug couples and fake sentiments’. Housed at The Stand, the event kicks off at 7.30pm.

“Single and sick of all the hearts, flowers and smug couples. In a smug couple, but sick of all the commerciality and fake sentiment Come laugh in a dark basement with us instead.”
The evening is hosted by Amy Matthews, a comedian and presenter from Essex whose style has been described as ‘intelligent, distinctive and warm’. Also included in the line-up is Laura Quinn Goh, a Glasgow based comic who hails from Singapore and blasted into the Scottish comedy scene back in 2021.
