Solo-Friendly Things to do in LA This Weekend [10.18-10.20]
Los Angeles Friends Halloween Party
10.18 | 7 PM | Downtown LA
Looking for a fun way to make new friends in LA and dive into Halloween festivities? Los Angeles Friends is hosting their October Meetup at Audio Graph Beer Co! Join this group for karaoke, pumpkin painting (you don't have to bring your own), a costume contest, and more!
Live Band Karaoke
10.18 | 7:30 PM | Lincoln Heights
One of the most popular recurring events is back and bigger than ever! Now held on the first and third Fridays of the month, the live band karaoke experience features over 300 songs in the backyard, creating an unforgettable atmosphere for everyone to sing their hearts out in the beer garden. If you missed your chance last year, it's time to seize the moment and shine like a Benny Boy star!
Love Isn’t Blind! A live Dating Show
10.18 | 9 PM | Hollywood
During this dating experiment, men compete on stage for one lucky bachelorette, with the little caveat that the men can't speak. Through a series of games - which includes calling the boys' moms and unlocking their phones - we narrow it down to two men. Finally, we hear their voices, and the lucky winning man is sent with our bachelorette to the bar for an immediate date. Audience members wear wristbands according to their relationship status, and a wing couple (who wear actual wings) helps those of you who are too shy to make a move.
The Morning Show at Night
10.18 | 10 PM | Hollywood
Wake up to your new favorite talk show - The Morning Show at Night! This comedy variety show includes sketches and character performances from Los Angeles’ finest and funniest comedians. Past guests have been seen on SNL, Dropout TV, Comedy Central and more. Catch your breaking news, celebrity interviews, community spotlight stories, and those classic morning show cooking segments…at night!
