If you can't have a good belly laugh with your other half once in a while - the kind of laughter that has you doubled over, streaming with tears, and struggling to muster a sentence – you might want to re-evaluate your future with said partner.

After all, a good sense of humour is essential for any long-lasting relationship.

And it appears the lols isn't in short supply for Selena Gomez and her Canadian boyfriend The Weeknd, who were just photographed laughing together on a date night at a comedy show.

Just look how happy they are!

Over the weekend, the singers were spotted cuddling up in the upper mezzanine at the Laugh Factory comedy club in Hollywood, weeks after Selena gushed about The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) being her 'best friend'.

During the pair's date night, comics included 2 Broke Girls star Jonathan Kite, Raj Sharma, Max Amini, Chris Redd, and Tacarra Williams took to the stage, with Tacarra sharing an adorable video of Selena to Facebook.

Selena and The Weeknd's date night comes weeks after the 'I Feel It Coming' crooner opened up about the importance of keeping his private life away from the media and his fans.

'I'm not in a rush to let people know everything about me. Mystery is always great,' he admitted to Harper's Bazaar.

'Luckily, the only thing the world demands of me is music. I don't have to give them anything else for the rest of my life.'

Very true, Abel.
