Frequently asked questions
About the Show
What is Love Isnβt Blind?
It's a live comedy/dating show where the men can't speak. Clips here.
Is this just a comedy show, or is there a real dating element too?
You can absolutely just watch and it's a comedy show - couples and friend groups welcome! But people are also meeting during the show and after. The wristband system helps, and couples are challenged to be good wingpeople at the after-party. We even have several marriages!
Will you make me go on stage?
You can apply to be a contestant, nominate friends, or just grab tickets to watch. You do not have to get on stage, but like, truly, YOLO, ya know?
Is this for singles or couples? Can I attend if i'm in a relationship?
It's for everyone, genuinely. Plenty of people come on a date, plenty come single, plenty come with friends just to scream at the stage.
And if you're coupled up, there are prizes for being a good wingperson - so you're not off the hook.
Does anyone actually end up together?
YES. Believe it or not, we have two marriages and two current engagements, and truly countless couples from on-stage and in the audience.
How long is the show?
Doors open about an hour before the show, depending on the city. The show runs 90 minutes, and is followed by an after-party and yes you will want to stay for it!
Is there a bar? Is there food?
There's a bar at every venue, and food at some of them. Click through to the Eventbrite page to learn more.
What age range is your show?
The audience is all ages. On stage, I've had shows where the contestants are all in their 20s, all in their 30s, or in their 40s - it depends who applies. And I'd love to do 50s, 60s, and 70s, tbh! I know that might not be what you want to hear because a lot of people are interested in this as a singles mixer. But it's a comedy show first, dating show second, and I want everyone to feel welcome in the audience. Apply no matter how old you are, and come watch with an open mind. You could meet the love of your life or you could leave with intergenerational friendships, let's goooo.
Is it always so heteronormative? Gross.
I know, it's so sad. We straights need help though, don't you agree? I've done several bi iterations, a few lesbian shows, and I had an awesome show where the bachelorette was pan and we have a diverse line-up of humans. I need to do more, but it's tricky. That said, we have pride and bi blue wristbands, so there's a growing LGBT contingent in the audience, and I love that for all of us. Come on out and watch and laugh at the straights.
Is this going to be on TV?
What? No! (Or at least... not yet. π) It's a live show, with an audience. Let's bring back face-to-face interaction, yeah?
Are you filming this?
Yes. I post clips every week on social media. If you're a contestant, you get a consent form after the show where you can write down anything you never want to see on the internet. I gotchu.
Is there audience participation?
Yes. But you can participate as little or as much as you'd like.
Do you offer group discounts?
The price drops if you buy 3+ tickets. If you're planning something for your social club, alumni network, etc. email [email protected].
Can I come by myself?
Yes, and you won't be the odd one out: more than half of all tickets are bought one at a time. The show has also been written up as a "solo-friendly" night out. And I'm biased, but the show tends to draw a friendly crowd that's not afraid to get weird or say hi to a stranger. So grab a wristband (or two) and you'll be fine, I swear.
Which cities are on the tour?
Current tour stops include San Francisco, Portland, San Diego, DC, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Seattle. More hopefully coming soon in 2027.
How do I bring you to my city?
The biggest hurdle breaking into a city is finding great contestants. I'm looking for interesting people who are passionate about what they do. Please nominate your single friends (loveisntblind.co/nominate-a-friend) or be brave and apply (loveisntblind.co/be-a-contestant). If I get enough applications from a city, I'll come!
Applications & Nominations
Where can I apply to be a contestant?
Here: loveisntblind.co/be-a-contestant. You can also nominate your fun single friends here: loveisntblind.co/nominate-a-friend
What if I just want to watch?
Sounds hot. Tickets are on sale: loveisntblind.co/tickets
How does the application/nomination process work?
There's a 1-minute form for applications (loveisntblind.co/be-a-contestant) and for nominations (loveisntblind.co/nominate-a-friend). Once someone applies (or is nominated), they're in our database. Then, when it's time to start casting for that city, my casting associate goes through the database and we see if we have a logical group and we set up interviews. Applying/nominating is in no way an obligation to participate.
What's after the form?
First, we send an email with a calendly link. (Check your spam!) We zoom with everyone who might be a fit for that upcoming show, and explain how it works behind-the-scenes, as well as learn about you and what you're looking for. From there, you'll hear from us for the next show or sometimes we reach out to someone 6 months later and are like, "oh heyyy, are you still single? We have the group for you!" We are trying to lock contestants about 2-4 weeks out from the show date. But sometimes we have a guy drop out last minute because things are getting serious with someone. (We love that non-fuck-boi energy, but damn that sucks as a producer.) Please, literally begging you not to slide into my DMs with "pls choose my friend here's her profile!" I am so genuinely grateful and jazzed by people's enthusiasm for my weird little bebe, but that cannot possibly be how we run this.
If I'm a contestant, will you humiliate me?
No. I'm not an insult comic, and the only person I've successfully roasted is myself. I mean, yeah, I'm a comedian, so there's that, but I'm much more interested in having fun with ridiculous situations than making an individual feel badly. Don't believe me? Clips at instagram.com/alli_goldi
My mom has passed/doesn't speak English/it'll be the middle of the night for her. Can I still participate?
I get asked this a decent amount, and honestly it'd be so f*cked up if I penalized people for having dead parents (sorry) or hard working immigrant moms. Calling moms is ridiculous and I love it, but if you check my clips, I've also interviewed sisters, dads, exes, etc. Get in touch (loveisntblind.co/be-a-contestant) and we can figure it out.
Are you seriously going to unlock my phone?
Yes. But consent matters, okay? If you're intrigued, let's chat: loveisntblind.co/be-a-contestant
Is there a consolation prize?
Absolutely! An entire audience will see how sexy and brave you are, and I'll make sure they know it. π I also have a fun gift for the men who don't "win". It's a good silly time and you'll definitely walk away with stories, friends, and (probably) lovers.
Do I have to be in a city where you currently tour in order to apply?
No. I'll take the show to any city where I get enough contestants. π₯³ππ₯³
