Forget awkward speed dating or another night lost to swiping. Hot Takes, Hot Dates is Austin’s most talked-about singles experience, it's part comedy show, part curated mixer, and the most fun way to meet ambitious, high-quality singles who are ready for something real.
What makes it different? The mix of comedy, connection, and conversation. You’ll laugh, debate, and meet people who are just as bold, interesting, and magnetic as you are.
Expect a night that’s equal parts bold and unforgettable:
🎤 Spicy, hilarious debates on modern dating (where comedy collides with connection).
💫 A curated crowd of Austin’s most eligible, high-quality singles.
🔥 An atmosphere that makes meeting people natural, not awkward.
Hosted at the Pershing Hall in East Austin by Dating Expert Joel Monteleone and Special Guest Comedian Allison Wojtowecz, this isn’t just another night out, it’s legitimately like nothing you've ever been to before.
