The Live Dating Show That Took Over the East Village

Manhattan has no shortage of things to do on a Sunday. What it’s short on is a room full of interesting, single people who are actually trying to meet someone without the pressure of a formal event or the numbness of another app.

Garam Masala Dating fills that gap. Every two to three weeks, we run the #1 live South Asian dating show and singles mixer at Top Secret Comedy Club in the East Village. Real blind dates, on stage, in front of 250 people. Before and after, everyone mixes. It’s low-stakes, high-energy, and nothing like the other “networking” events you’ve skipped.

Our Manhattan shows draw South Asian professionals, desi diaspora, expats, and anyone who shows up curious and leaves having actually talked to someone new. The crowd skews late 20s to mid 30s, culturally mixed, and genuinely there for a good time.

Shows happen on Sundays at Top Secret Comedy Club, 44 Avenue A. Grab tickets for the next one below.

If you’re tired of apps and tired of manufactured mixers, this is the alternative. Come watch a few strangers try to fall in love on stage, then go find your own person at the bar.
