A live dating night where your friends do the selling for you.

Pitch Your Mate

Got a single mate who deserves better than dating apps? Pitch them to a room of eligible singles in a light-hearted, warm, 3–5 minute presentation.

Or come along, watch the pitches, meet people, and have some fun.

What is Pitch Your Mate?

Pitch Your Mate is a social night for singles and their friends.


Instead of swiping through profiles, real people stand up and pitch someone they know, love and can vouch for.


It’s part comedy, part wingman duty, part dating event — and a much better story than “we matched online.”

How it works

Nominate your mate

Tell us who they are and why they’re a catch.

Prepare a short pitch

Pitch them live

Create a 3–5 minute slide presentation. Funny is good. Cruel is not.

Take the stage, make the room fall in love with them, and let the mingling begin.

Who should come?

Singles who are tired of dating apps.

Friends who have someone brilliant to pitch.

People who want a fun night out with good energy, good stories and real conversation.


Take the stage. Pitch your single friend to the room.

Come Support.

Nominate your mate now and we'll send you the pitch guidelines. Entries close on 8 July.

Just come for the atmosphere, conversations and connections.
