About this Event

Pitch-A-Friend: Edinburgh’s Most Fun Singles Night 💘

Looking for a dating event that doesn’t feel like a dating event? Welcome to Pitch-A-Friend: a free, fun, and low-pressure night where your friends do the talking for you.

Join us at Edinburgh Street Food on Thursday, 14th May.
Doors: 7:30pm | Event starts: 8:00pm


👉 Attend as a guest (free): https://pitch-a-friend.com/edinburgh/rsvp

👉 Pitch a friend (£5): https://pitch-a-friend.com/edinburgh/signup


💫 What is Pitch-A-Friend?

Pitch-A-Friend is a unique singles event where people create short, funny presentations to “pitch” their single friends to the crowd. Think PowerPoint meets stand-up comedy meets matchmaking.

Not pitching? No problem. Come along, grab a drink, and enjoy the show before mingling with a room full of amazing singles.

No swiping. No awkward bios. Just real people, real connections, and a lot of laughs.


❤️ Why It Works

This isn’t about selling yourself, it’s about seeing someone through the eyes of the people who know them best.

Expect:

  • Funny, heartfelt presentations
  • Genuine insights into real people
  • A supportive, feel-good atmosphere

It flips modern dating on its head: replacing apps and algorithms with community and connection.
