The BackFatlorette: Last Comic Standing Meets The Bachelorette

The Time Out Critics' Pick comedy outfit BackFat Variety moves to Union Hall for its annual live dating show, where four New York comedians compete in challenges to win an all-expenses paid date with a hand-picked Brooklyn bachelorette. It's Brooklyn's answer to dating shows—complete with succulents instead of roses—and it's the most fun you'll have watching love unfold in February. Created and hosted by Larry Mancini (of the band The Tracys) and Emily Winter (Glamour, Fusion, TV Land).

The four single comedian contestants are:
Rojo Perez (Conan)
Daniel Simonsen (Edinburgh Fringe Fest)
Raghav Mehta (Bridgetown Comedy Festival)
Albert Kirchner (Bridgetown Comedy Festival)

And meet our backfatlorette! Alissa is a Brooklyn-based reporter and podcaster who lives with her best friend, Peta the cat.
