during the show we interview two main couples, both selected from the audience.

during each couple's interview we break away every so often, and play out what's been said--it could be performed as a blues song, a Shakespearian scene, or as a play-by-by sports commentary. the possibilities are endless because it's improv!

how we first met has told the stories of hundreds of couples from diverse walks of life. the show has featured couples married 50 years, dating 5 months, conservative, liberal - all celebrating a common bond; the struggles, hilarity, and ultimate triumphs of falling in love.
