Sex with Jenna: Dating Show
Tired of Tinder? Hating Hinge? This community lifting, educational, funny as f*ck show is your opportunity to try something new and meet people IRL. Come watch or participate in dating games to find a match and win prizes. Dating in a small city is hard enough. Let’s make dating more FUN and EFFECTIVE. Partnered and single people of all identities are welcome to watch, learn, build loving community, and practice vulnerability! Let’s pause the swiping and earnestly try to find genuine connections in these trying times.
About the show format:
This show includes interactive audience discussions, dating games, education, performances, and structured mingling opportunities. It runs two hours with an intermission and ends with a DJ Gay Bar dance/mingling party. The live matchmaking follows the format of the classic Dating Game. The show was on the air for over 30 years, and now it's back, better, and gayer than ever in Vermont. One “dater” and three contestants are hidden from one another. The dater asks the contestants a series of questions to determine who may be their best match. Winners will get a gift card for a sponsored first date. Flirting is encouraged, but not required! Name tags are worn to show what you are looking for. The show content will range from sincere to unhinged. This is a live dating comedy show, after all… let’s get weird with it!
