Comedy (Game Show): Date Night with The MacBlakes

Two married comedians host their own live spin-off version of The Newlywed Game, where 3 couples compete to show who knows each other best.

Rachel Mac and Devin Blake, two married comedians living in Jackson, will open the night with a joint stand-up set discussing their marriage and parenting.

Then, one at a time, they will bring the 3 competing couples onstage for a brief interview. Once the couples have been introduced, the competition begins! Each person in each couple will have already answered questions about their spouse, and Rachel and Devin will go over these questions, one by one. For example, they will start by bringing out one of the wives and go over her answer to a question like “Who is your celebrity crush?” The wife will give her answer, THEN her husband will come out and guess her answer. If the answers match, that couple gets a point. After a number of these questions, Rachel and Devin will take a break to talk to the audience and ask them which couple they think is going to win and why. Then they will return for the second round of the game, where we’ll hear answers from the men and then ask their wives to guess. The winning couple will be able to tell their great-grandchildren that they were the best couple in all of Washington County!

Rachel Mac is a writer and comedian who has appeared on Comedy Central’s Lights Out With David Spade and who has written for SyFy’s The Movie Show. After growing up in Wisconsin, she spent almost a decade in Los Angeles, where her comedy career began.

Devin Blake is a standup comedian who also contributes to The Onion and New York Magazine. He is a recent transplant to Wisconsin and is really enjoying the area and getting used to all the roundabouts.
This show is designated for 18+.
