The Big Valentine’s Comedy Shindig

Open Door presents
The Big Valentine’s Comedy Shindig
Sliding Doors! A Comedy Night of Valentines “What ifs…?”

6pm, Sunday 15th February 2026 – Theatre Royal Haymarket

Join us this Valentines for a one-of-a-kind, unforgettable evening of improvised comedy raising money for Open Door.

Six famous actors alongside the UK’s most talented comedy improvisers will take to the stage to recall one of their dating stories that either went really well or very badly! Then, the improvisers take over – creating alternative ‘Sliding Doors’ versions of the stories – showing what could have happened.

Hosted by a celebrated stand-up comedian Joe Lycett, this one-night special promises to be an evening of hilarious, heart-warming and surprising dating stories. 

 It’s comedy, chaos, and catharsis all in one. 

 Even better? Every penny raised goes directly to Open Door.

Open Door supports talented young people from low-income backgrounds, helping them secure places at the UK’s leading drama schools and take their first steps into careers in theatre, film, and television.

It’s the perfect Valentine’s Day gift — especially for anyone who prefers laughter over roses.

In association with The Free Association.

Actors soon to be announced…
