Too Thirsty Dating Show

@ Big Belly Bar & Comedy Club London on Wednesday 22nd July 2026 and 2 other Wednesdays

Too Thirsty brings a thrilling, high-energy television format right to the Southbank stage. The premise is simple: one girl, two guys, completely hidden from each other. She fires off a series of unfiltered questions to figure out who her perfect match is, culminating in a face-to-face reveal.

The fun begins early with the bar opening at 5.30pm, giving you plenty of time to grab a drink and settle in before the opening stand-up comic kicks things off at 7pm. Spanning multiple hilarious game-show segments - including The Bachelor and The Bachelorette - the night keeps the crowd laughing, cringing, and guessing along.

Enjoy a sumptuous three-course meal with other likeminded individuals, which features delicious sharing dishes - at venues everywhere from Shoreditch to Battersea. You'll also receive a welcome drink, with tickets starting from £50 per person.
