Have a single friend who’s the total package? Or maybe you’re the catch everyone’s been waiting to meet? This is your chance to put that charm on stage — literally.

Forget swiping — this is dating with a twist! Seacoast Stories and Wild Ivory are teaming up to bring you Seacoast Singles, a one-of-a-kind night where 24 brave singles are introduced by their biggest fans: their friends. Each single will be paired with a hype-person who delivers a hilarious (and sometimes heartfelt) 2–3 minute PowerPoint presentation about why they’re the ultimate catch. Think roast-meets-wedding-toast… with a side of matchmaking.

After the presentations, the singles, their friends, and the rest of the crowd will mix, mingle, and maybe even make a love connection. Not single? Perfect — come for the comedy, cheer on your friends, and enjoy the energy of a room full of possibility. Whether you leave with a date or just a great story, it’s the most fun you can have on a Saturday night in Portsmouth.

Presented by our friends at Oomph Salon in the West End of Portsmouth.

What to Expect

The Pitches:

  • Sign up to present your single friend.

  • Each presentation is 2-3 minutes, designed to highlight personality, passions, and what makes this person unforgettable.

  • Keep it heartfelt, funny, or wildly creative — the mic is yours!

How It Works:

  1. Get Your Ticket: Secure your spot to pitch or just watch and enjoy the show.

  2. Event Night: Arrive 15 minutes early to check in, grab a drink, and settle in.

  3. The Presentations: Take the stage or sit back and listen to others share their pitches.

  4. Q&A + Contact Slide: After each pitch, there’s a quick Q&A, and presenters can share their friend’s preferred contact info so sparks can fly.

  5. Mingle & Match: After the pitches, the room turns into an open social hour so you can connect with anyone who caught your attention.

    Who Can Attend?

  • Ages 21+

  • Singles, wingmen/wingwomen, and the simply curious

  • Creative Matchmaking: Your friend knows your best side — let them brag for you.

  • Fun & Social: Laugh, mingle, and meet new people in a lively, supportive space.

FAQs

Do I have to make a fancy slide deck?
Nope! Keep it simple and genuine — a few photos, fun facts, and personal touches are all you need.

Do I have to pitch someone? Not at all! You can attend as an attendee and see if anyone catches your eye.

Do I have to be single to go? Everyone’s welcome, but it's recommended to drag along your single friend!

What if I’m shy?
That’s why friends can pitch for you! You can still get all the benefits without stepping on stage.

  • Mingle & Meet: Not pitching? No problem! Grab a drink, enjoy the show, and chat with other eligible singles in a relaxed, fun setting.

  • Connect IRL: Witness connections come to life in real time—whether it’s sparks of romance, the start of a new friendship, or a wingman/woman hyping up their bestie.
