About the show
Join us on a surreal musical odyssey of romance and live betting.
Six lucky contestants will vie for the chance to go on a date with Aella, our glamorous bachelorette. Conducted by an enigmatic, freestyling MC (Duncan Horst), a battery of creative challenges will test the full extent of our bachelors’ physical, social, and intellectual mettle.
A multitude of live prediction markets will track — and maybe even influence — each of the show’s many surprises. Audience participation is the name of the game! Bet on the markets and create your own to win mana and support your favorite contestants!
With live original music by Tim Blais and Bashu, Bet on Love will be the wild, what-the-fuck-happened theatrical event your friends will be talking about for weeks. Discover Aella’s preferences and help her find some new ones! Win mana through your superforecasting prowess! Laugh, cry, and bargain with the unrelenting specter of death! Anything could happen at Bet on Love.
Doors open at 6:30.
Note that this performance will be R-rated. You can expect song and dance, frank discussion of sexuality, the sacred and the profane, some rowdy characters, and some disturbing imagery.
Stream
