About this Event
🏮 Subtle Asian Dating IRL: Matchmaker Edition Vol. 2🏮
Looking for love… or just a night full of laughs and good vibes? Welcome to SAD-IRL: Matchmaker Edition — where the matchmakers are the ones competing, not just the singles themselves!
Instead of awkward speed dating, watch as creative matchmakers introduce their chosen candidates live on stage. They’ll pitch, hype, and showcase why their friend might just be the perfect catch — with the help of visual aids like a PowerPoint, slides, or props to bring their presentation to life.
Guiding the night is a carasmatic MC, keeping the energy high, transitions smooth, and the crowd smiling from start to finish.
Here’s the twist — the audience decides the winners, judging matchmakers on presentation style, crowd reaction, and whether their candidate actually lands a date by the end of the night.
And to make it extra special — this event was created in partnership with the original admins of Subtle Asian Dating Toronto, bringing authentic SAD energy to the stage.
This event is not exculsive to only Asians we welcome everyone to join in the fun and chaos of the night!
