The cult live onstage dating show, straight outta Melbourne (and the ‘70s), makes its Hobart debut! Three hopeful nerds will vie for the attention of one solo contestant, aiming to capture their heart with personality, wit, and scientific wisdom. Get off the apps and find love — or at least a great night out — in real life.

Apply to be a contestant! Looking for genuine connection and the chance to meet a fellow nerd, in front of a live audience of hundreds of your closest strangers? Anyone can apply, regardless of how you identify, your age, or what type of encounter you seek. Click here to fill out an application.

This session is part of the Beaker Street Main Stage at Hobart City Hall. Your House Band for the evening will be the dangerously well-rehearsed Stevie and the Bunsen Burners. Enter through Market Place, where you’ll find drinks, food, fires, and friendly strangers. Come early, stay late to enjoy all the action.
