About this Event

Sick of the apps? Or worse - sick of your friends awful dating choices? Then this is the event for you!

We're bringing dating back to the pub and handing the power to the people who know you best: your friends.

Date My Mate is a dating event hosted by the Tipsy Toad and led by comedian, Harvey Dench, where friends can tell a room of strangers how amazing their single friend is. It's better than speed dating, and is guaranteed to be a lot funnier.
Each presenter has two minutes to make their case and pitch their single friend. Once all presentations are done, you'll have loads of time to spare at the end of the night to shoot your shot with whoever caught your eye. And for those of you who are a bit more shy, we've got you covered too. We will lend a helping hand in connecting potential matches as the evening goes on.

Choose your ticket type:

  • The Presenter: You have 2 minutes and a PowerPoint to convince the room why your single mate is the ultimate catch. You can go as rogue as you like, no slide limit, just make sure you can deliver it in under 2 minutes. Make sure your single mate grabs themselves a Single or Spectator ticket.
  • The Single or Spectator: Whether you're single or just here for the drama, grab a ticket, enjoy the free drink and help us judge the best pitches of the night.


Tickets: £7.50

Location: Tipsy Toad Micropub, 76 Heaton Road NE6 5RL

Tickets include: A free glass of fizz or soft drink. Free Goodie Bag + glass of fizz for presenters. Guaranteed laughs courtesy of Comedian, Harvey Dench

Ts and Cs:

  • All genders and preferences welcome (If you'd like to see a LGTBQ+ exclusive event in the future, let us know!).
  • Must be 18+.
  • If you've bought a presenter ticket, you must email your presentation to [email protected] by Monday 1 June . If you don't do this, you will automatically become a Spectator.
  • Please note: only 15 presenters will be chosen out of the 30 presenter tickets, this is to ensure we have a good split of genders. We will let you know either way, if you have been selected to pitch on the night.
