This is perfect for singles that "hate" Valentine's Day. Head to Cambridge's top comedy venue with friends to roast the holiday.

Nothing to do on Valentine's Day, but don't want to sit at home? Head out and enjoy some a capella! This concert is a tournament of the area's best collegiate talent competing to make it to the Northeast Semifinals. Grab some friends and enjoy a night of great music and fun. This, of course, will particularly appeal to live music lovers and anyone that has seen the box office hit "Pitch Perfect." You are sure to leave the auditorium happy and singing and totally oblivious to the fact that another dateless Valentine's Day has passed by.
