Forget swiping. Pitch Your Friend is a singles night with a twist. Instead of trying to sell yourself on a dating app, your friends do it for you. They take to the stage at BOX Brindleyplace with a short slide presentation (funny, heartfelt, or somewhere in between) and make the case for why you’re brilliant. A room full of singles listens, applauds, and roots for the person being pitched.
If you’re pitching a friend:
You’ll create a short 3-5 minute slide deck (Google Slides, PowerPoint, Canva - whatever works for you) showcasing all the best things about your single friend. Then you take to the mic and deliver your pitch. You might just be playing cupid!
If you’re in the audience:
Sit back, enjoy the show, and keep your eyes open. During the breaks and after the pitches, there’s plenty of time to mingle and work your charm if someone catches your eye.
The evening:
Doors open at 7PM at BOX Brindleyplace. Pitches begin around 8PM, with intervals for mingling and of course heading to the bar.
Every event is hosted personally by Gareth. Warm, relaxed, and designed to make everyone feel welcome from the moment they walk in.
Please note the event space is up a flight of stairs. Get in touch at hello@garethlewis.co with any questions or accessibility needs.
Age restrictions: 18+
| Adult (General Admission) | £10 |

If you’re pitching, please send your pitch to hello@garethlewis.co 24 hours before the event. You may want to arrive closer to 7PM to check-in and run through any questions.
If you’re in the audience, come along between 7-7:30PM, check in and enjoy!
Meeting people in real life is harder than it should be. Pitch Your Friend is my answer to that.
It’s a singles night with a twist: instead of swiping or awkward mingling, your friends take to the stage and make the case for you. It’s warm, funny, and something a little different!
