Frequently Asked Questions

How do I bring you to my city?

The biggest hurdle breaking into a city is finding great contestants. I'm looking for interesting people who are passionate about what they do. Please nominate your single friends or be brave and apply. If I get enough applications from a city, I'll come!​

​

Where can I apply to be a contestant?

Here. You can also nominate your fun single friends here.

​

How does the application/nomination process work?

There's a 1-minute form for applications and for nominations. Once someone applies (or is nominated), they're in our database. Then, when it's time to start casting for that city, the ineffable Noor and I (hello, it's Alli) go through the database and we see if we have a logical group and we start to set up interviews. Applying/nominating is in no way an obligation to participate.

​

If I applied (or nominated my bestie), when will I hear back?

Well, first of all, if you don't hear from us for the upcoming show in your city, that doesn't mean you won't hear from us when we return to that city. We are trying to make real matches, so we're keeping that in mind, as well as diversity and keeping the age ranges fairly tight. (Oh, and we're low-key looking for possible bromances, too.) Other than that, we are so sorry, but we cannot get back to everyone who applies. I'm a team of one and two halves, as you can see here.

​

Okay but like if I DO hear from you, what's the process?

Fair. First, we send an email with a calendly link. (Check your spam!) We zoom with everyone who might be a fit for that upcoming show, and explain how it works behind-the-scenes, as well as learn about you and what you're looking for. From there, you'll hear from us for the next show or sometimes we for real reach out to someone 6 months later and are like, "oh hey, we have the right group for you!"

​

We are trying to lock contestants about 2-4 weeks out from the show date - but right now we're trying to keep up with an insane pace of doing the show almost every weekend in a different city, so sometimes that deadline is a little messy. Also, we'll sometimes have a guy drop out last minute because things are getting serious with someone. (We love that non-fuck-boi energy, but damn that sucks as a producer.)

​

Please, literally begging you not to slide into my DMs with "pls choose my friend here's her profile!" I am so genuinely grateful and jazzed by people's enthusiasm for my weird little bebe, but that cannot possibly be how we run this. 

​

What if I just want to watch?

Sounds hot. Tickets are on sale.​

​

What age range is your show?

The audience is all ages - though of course at the moment it's skewing millennial & Gen Z. On stage, I've had shows where the contestants are all in their 20s, all in their 30s, or in their 40s - it depends who applies. And I'd love to do 50s, 60s, and 70s, tbh! I know that might not be what you want to hear because a lot of people are interested in this as a singles mixer. But it's a comedy show first, dating show second, and I want everyone to feel welcome. Apply no matter how old you are, and come watch with an open mind. You could meet the love of your life (I have my first marriage, actually!!), or you could leave with intergenerational friendships, let's goooo.

​

Is it always so heteronormative? Gross.

I know, it's so sad. We straights need help though, don't you agree? Anyway, I've done several bi iterations, a few lesbian shows, and I had an awesome show where the bachelorette was pan and we have a diverse line-up of humans. I need to do more, but it's a bit tricky since the whole gimmick is that it's a show where straight men STFU. That said, we have pride and bi blue wristbands, so there's a growing LGBT contingent in the audience, and I love that for all of us. Come on out and watch and laugh at the straights.​

​

If I'm a contestant, will you humiliate me?

No. I'm not an insult comic, and the only person I've successfully roasted is myself. I mean, yeah, I'm a comedian, so there's that, but I'm much more interested in having fun with ridiculous situations than making an individual feel badly. Don't believe me? Clips here.​

​

My mom has passed/doesn't speak English/it'll be the middle of the night for her. Can I still participate?

I get asked this a decent amount, and honestly it'd be so f*cked up if I penalized people for having dead parents (sorry) or hard working immigrant moms. Calling moms is ridiculous and I love it, but if you check my clips, I've also interviewed sisters, dads, exes, etc. Get in touch and we can figure it out.

​

Are you seriously going to unlock my phone?

Yes. But consent matters, okay? If you're intrigued, let's chat.

​

Is there a consolation prize?

Absolutely! An entire audience will see how sexy and brave you are, and I'll make sure they know it. 😉 I also have a fun gift for the men who don't "win". Seriously though, it's a good silly time and you'll definitely walk away with stories, friends, and (probably) lovers.

​

Is this going to be on TV?

What? No! (Or at least... not yet. 😇) It's a live show, with an audience. Let's bring back face-to-face interaction, yeah?

​

Are you filming this?

Yes, I have an amazing videographer & editor, Connor Linnerooth, and I post clips every week on social media - but no clips are posted without consent from everyone featured.

​

Are you genuinely trying to set people up?

Yes. One match will be made onstage, and couples have officially resulted from the audience. Check out a few success stories here.​

​​

Do I have to be in a city where you currently tour in order to apply?

No. I'll take the show to any city where I get enough contestants. 🥳🎉🥳

​

Is there audience participation?

Yes. But you can participate as little or as much as you'd like.​​​
