Hosted by the fabulous Kita Mean, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under, this hilarious event sees ten friends give 4-minute presentations on why you should date their bestie. Imagine PowerPoint meets talent show meets dating app… but live, loud, and way more fun.

How it works:

  • If you want to Pitch Ya Pal: Submit a short, creative pitch deck. If selected, you’ll present it live on stage to a crowd of (mostly) singles.
  • Come Watch the Magic: Whether you're pitching or just along for the ride, expect a night full of laughs and potential right swipes in real life.
  • See Someone You Fancy? Scan the QR on your table and submit an online dating form. Here’s the twist, it goes to their bestie to decide if you'd be a good match.
  • After the Pitches: It might only be 8:30, but we’re still calling it an after party. The DJ takes over, the lights shift, and now’s your moment to move, mingle, and see what happens next.

The schedule:

  • 5.30pm - Doors open - Welcome drink on arrival and a chill DJ set to ease you in
  • 7.00pm - Kita Mean takes the stage and presentations begin
  • 8.30pm – 10.30pm - After party
