What goes down?

Performers give powerpoint presentations to "pitch" their single (or otherwise available) friends in front of a lusty live audience. They brag about their friend’s key features and show how the product has improved over time.

The host, Rose Oser, then asks them hard-hitting questions so you can see if they are actually right for you. Do they pay an Indigenous land tax? Do they miss their ex? Would they rather have a threesome or a three-bedroom apartment? How do their problems with their parents manifest in their relationships?

And then after the show, you chat them up at the bar.

Wanna be on the show?

For information about performing on the show, please email rose@tinderdisrupt.com or message us on instagram @tinderdisrupt with the basics of how you identify and who you want to present (or who wants to present you!). The lineup is curated each month to represent a broad spectrum of humans so you may be asked to wait until a later show. We prioritize folks who have already seen the show, so be sure to check it out first!

What’s the story?

Originally produced under the umbrella of FaultLine Theater, we launched Tinder Disrupt in 2016 at PianoFight inspired in part by an event created in 2014 by Minneapolis organization Grown-Up Club. Since 2016, we’ve produced 35 live shows in San Francisco, and as of 2023, we now regularly produce shows on both coasts. Come check it out!

Tinder Disrupt has resulted in all kinds of sexual and romantic success, including OTPHJs and marriage. It has been featured on CBSN, THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, and more.
