Valentine’s Day is Sunday, of course – and what better way to start the most romantic weekend of the year than with an irreverent, side-splitting marathon comedy show?

Friday night starting at 8, more than a dozen SoCal comedians will converge on Newhall for two hours of merry mayhem at the Spotlight Arts Center on Lyons Avenue in Newhall.

It’s the bi-monthly bash thrown by the local performance art troupe Birthday Party.

Host Ernie Stone will introduce the show’s lineup, which features hot Santa Clarita Valley comedian Wyatt “The Riot” Adam, along with Erica Rhodes, Ahamed Weinberg, Mike Citera, Danny Jolles, Brandon Brickz, Dan Nolan, Logan Guntzelman, Connor McSpadden, Holly Frost, Zach Sims, Jabari Gayle, Terrance Washington, Alex Duong, Michael Monsour and Pat Barker.

No age limit, but the language might be a little rough for kids. Doors open at 7:30. Admission’s just $5, beverages $1. Call the Spotlight Arts Center at (661) 388-0338 for more info.

Speaking of birthdays, four of the five members of SCV rock ’n’ soul dance band The Snareheads celebrate their birthdays for real with a blowout Friday night at Valencia Wine on Town Center Drive. Check out the Snareheads’ Facebook page for more info, and call 661-254-9300 for reservations.

Big, fat, greasy congrats to SCVTV “House Blend” stars The Delgado Brothers, the veteran blues band from East L.A., who last week won America’s “Best Blues Band” honors at the International Blues Competition in Memphis.

Lead guitarist Joey Delgado also picked up the “Best Band Guitarist” award.

The Delgados out-performed dozens of bands from all over the world, so it’s a very big deal in the world of blues.

The band’s prize package includes eight days of sessions at the historic Ardent Studios in Memphis to work on their next album, along with bookings at major upcoming blues festivals, and a nice check for $3,000.

And Joey’s prize was a gorgeous brand-new Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop guitar to add to his quiver.

To join in the Delgados’ celebration, SCVTV will feature an encore broadcast of the “House Blend” episode hosted by yours truly featuring the Delgados with blues belter Sherry Pruitt Saturday night at 10.

It’s a classic show from Season 3, and you can see it on SCVTV in the Santa Clarita Valley and Orange Counties and streaming everywhere at SCVHouseBlend.com.
