💘 Fancy My Friend?
A Powerpoint Dating Night at Big Penny Social
Single?
Done with the dating algorithm and ready to retire the apps?
Time to outsource your love life.
We’re bringing the viral “Present Your Single Friend” dating trend to Big Penny Social - where brave singles hand over the mic and let their most loyal (or funniest, or most extroverted) mate pitch them via PowerPoint to a room full of eligible strangers.
There will be slides. There will be oversharing. There will be heartfelt stories. There will be embarrassing photos.
If you can't believe your incredible friend is single, this is your chance to make the case.
Fancy My Friend? Will be hosted by the effortlessly funny Alexandra Haddow, expect big laughs, bold claims, chaotic slide decks and a room full of single people who are very much paying attention.
After the presentations, stay for drinking, dancing, mingling...snogging? Depends how convincing those presos are. Shoot your shot with someone whose slide deck passed the vibe check — or just enjoy the spectacle.
This is dating with a PR team.
