Cuffing season is here, and the apps just aren’t providing. Join us at Brasserie Blanc on the Southbank for Pitch Your Friend - a live IRL dating experience unlike anything else out there. For this event, everybody being pitched will be LGBTQ+.

Friends take to the stage with a 3-5 minute slide presentation, making the case for their single friend to a room full of people ready to be convinced. It's warm, funny, and surprisingly moving. Part live show, part matchmaking, part brilliant night out.

Whether you're single, pitching a friend, or just looking for a fun evening and some new faces, there's a place for you here. We'll have social mixers between each set of pitches and after the show, so plenty of time to meet people and work your charm if someone catches your eye.

Want to pitch your friend?
Create a short slide deck (Google Slides, Canva, PowerPoint) showcasing the best things about your single friend. Take to the mic, deliver your pitch, and you might just be playing cupid. Pitcher tickets include a spot for you and up to two guests. While everybody being pitched for this event will be LGBTQ+, the pitchers don't have to be.

Joining the audience?
Sit back and enjoy the show. The pitches are warm, funny, and really entertaining. And with social mixers built into the evening, there's plenty of opportunity to meet someone new whether you're single or not. Cis-straight friends are of course welcome for morale support!!

Doors open at 7PM, pitches from 8PM.

Key info for pitchers:
Please arrive close to 7PM so we can run through the tech. Send your slides to hello@garethlewis.co no later than 10PM the day before in Google Slides or PowerPoint format. Be mindful of your friend's privacy. Consult them on what to share, and don't include anything they'd be mortified by!
