The Gorge Dating Show: A Live Audience Game Show Solving the Gorge Dating Problem

Thursday, August 6, 2026

7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Come watch (or apply to participate in) a live game show around dating in the Gorge!

The Gorge Dating Show is a weird-but-fun event series for romantics, realists, “I’m in love with my kayak” people, and everyone in between. Whether you’re looking for sparks, sidekicks, or just a good story to tell, we’re here to make meeting people a little less awkward and a lot more fun for everyone involved.

Two ways to participate:

1. Be in our audience and watch the contestants compete for a date (by getting tickets here).
2. Apply to be a contestant below.

This interactive show features:

• A Catch of the Day: an eligible Gorge resident open to taking a date with a stranger
• Several “bait” contestants who hope to woo the Catch of the Day from the other side of a curtain
• Elements for audience members to signal whether they’re open to dating, happily chained down, “it’s complicated, ask me about it,” and more (or simply sit and watch)
• A curated date for the winning couple (and they’ll update us on how it goes) and more hilarious moments that will make you stop complaining about dating in the Gorge once and for all!
