Singles meet up at a comedy club where two resident comedians do sets. Those who laugh the loudest at the same set, are paired together by our comedians to hopefully be a match made in humor. Each comedian then matches up one couple to go on an utterly laughable date (also planned by the comedians) to see if their matches are still sharing giggles and gags. Or not. They predict which couples will last and check in a month later to see whether couples that laugh together, stay together.
