    About Valentine's Day Show Midtown

    Valentine’s Day Show Midtown is a stand-up program presented live at New York Comedy Club on the Upper West Side, where the holiday’s rituals become material rather than romance. The lineup includes Rafi Bastos, Mia Jackson, Christian Finnegan, and Jake Velazquez, each working in the tight, conversational frame of a New York club set. No specific NYC premiere history is documented, but the format fits a city tradition of using comedy to test public stories in real time. The best moments tend to come when jokes turn observational and slightly self-incriminating.
