The Sunday Singles mixer is free and open to single men and women. The Improv Comedy Club, located at the MarqE Entertainment Center on the Katy Freeway, will provide a venue for Black and Singles readership to meet discriminating individuals in a lavish setting. The Speed dating, a part of the Sunday Singles mixers, will only take place on those Sundays where the comedians are African American. The first Sunday Single mixer is scheduled for August 15, 2004. The Speed dating will begin promptly at 7:00 pm and participants are asked to email info @ blackandsinglemag.com prior to the event to reserve their space.

Black and Single magazine looks forward to teaming up with the Improv Comedy Club to bring more African Americans to the popular comedy spot. According to the Publisher and Founder, Lynn Jones,I was really excited when the Improv asked us to host a Singles night! I love the venue, love the location and the talent that they have brought in has been exceptional." Speed dating events have grown across the country but are very limited for the African American single community usually because of the high cost to participate or the lack of minorities showing up. Our readership is hungry to meet other singles within their community and this Sunday Single mixer along with the speed dating will allow that and it wont cost a dime to participate," says Jones.

The Single Sunday Mixers are presently scheduled for August 15, 2004- Tommy Davidson, September 5- Bill Bellamy and October 5- Paul Mooney. The Speed dating will always begin an hour before each show and food and drink specials are also extended on Mixer nights. For more information on scheduled appearances visit www. improv.com.
