Twin Cities weekend: Onstage first dates, Girl Scout cookie beer, Disney trivia
Single and ready to mingle? Take a unique approach to dating Friday night at Funny Bachelors, where participants go on first dates in front of a live audience while comedians weigh in.
How it works: If you opt in to the dating pool, the self-proclaimed comedy dating show/social experiment could randomly select you to meet a fellow attendee on stage as a panel of comedians riff on your date.
The comedians will do a set before the dates begin, and after the show, there's a casual singles mixer for "offstage connections."
Friday, March 28 from 7-10pm at Forgotten Star Brewing Co. in Fridley. $31.95
Plus: If you want to be on stage but aren't single, Sociable Cider Werks is hosting Pitch-A-Friend on Friday, where participants prepare a 3- to 5-minute slideshow about how great their friend is and why the audience should date them. A singles mixer follows.
Advance sign-ups required for presenters. Free to attend, $5 to pitch

Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts are celebrating their graduate! On Thursday, June 5, the former couple reunited to celebrate their 17-year-old son Sasha's high school graduation. In one photo posted to Schreiber's Instagram, Watts could be seen wearing a multicolor maxi dress and straw hat, posing next to Sasha and her husband, Billy Crudup. On Sasha's other side, Schreiber stands next to his son with a film camera around his neck, posing alongside his wife, Taylor Neisen. Sasha stands in the middle, wearing a gray suit and tan shoes.

Alongside Sasha, the two also share daughter Kai, 16. Schreiber is also dad to daughter Hazel Bee, 20 months. Back in May, Watts shared photos and videos of her son Sasha on her Instagram Stories all dressed up and ready to go to his high school prom. In one snap, Watts and Schreiber posed together for a selfie with their son, who wore a dark suit and boutonniere, in the middle. Other pictures and clips showed the teenager with some of his fellow prom-goers and a large shot of the entire class celebrating the momentous occasion. The former couple ended their 11-year relationship in 2016. Since then, Watts and Schreiber have been open about remaining friends and putting their children first. 'We're doing things very differently. I'm pretty proud of us, corny as that may sound,' Watts told Net-a-Porter in August 2019. 'We've made it our absolute priority to be good and kind to each other and we're absolutely committed to that.' On March 6, PEOPLE caught up with the Perfect Couple actor at the Cirque Du Soleil New York City premiere of Luzia, where he was joined by his son. When asked how it felt to be walking carpets with his eldest, Schreiber admitted it's an adjustment process. 'It's strange,' the X-Men star told PEOPLE. 'I felt a little self-conscious walking into the circus with him because, like, it's the kind of thing you do with your kid.' Schreiber added, 'He doesn't feel like my kid anymore. He feels like a man now, so, it's a whole different thing for us.' Read the original article on People
