FAQs

Pitch-A-Friend is for everyone! All our events are open to all genders, ages and sexual orientations unless the event is clearly marked otherwise. Some shows are for instance just for queers or a specific age group. If so, just those within that segment may be pitched, but absolutely everyone is always welcome to be in the audience.

The events consists of around 10 pitches where friends hold a fun slide presentation about their single friend - and is fun for all, but even more fun for singles!
You will not be dragged up on stage or anything else embarrassing, and during the break and after the show, you may mingle with everyone in a relaxed and stress free setting.

Absolutely—all of our events are LGBTQ+ friendly. We’re all about creating inclusive, welcoming spaces where everyone feels seen and celebrated.

We also host LGBTQ+ focused nights from time to time to connect even more intentionally—so keep an eye on our calendar! And even when a night has a specific theme or focus, all are welcome to attend, mingle, and enjoy the vibe.

You may of course just go and say hi to the one being pitched if you please. If not, the last slides in every pitch will show the best way of contacting them. It could be everything from Instagram and Snapchat, to phone number and e-mail. After the show, all the last slides will be put on rotation while everyone who wants can mingle until we’re kicked out of the venue Single Mingle portion of the event.

The best pitches come from the heart. It’s all about showing off your friend in an honest, personal, and charming way. The more unique your pitch is, the more it’ll stand out—and most importantly, connect with the right people.

If you’re into visuals, Canva’s got tons of easy templates you can build on. Just have fun with it, keep it real, and let your friend’s awesomeness shine.

Each venue has their ticket service, but most shows you’ll find on Ticketmaster. You’ll find the ticket link to each show in our show calendar, and in the show’s respective Facebook event.

We don’t have an official waitlist for audience members and recommend you comment in the Facebook event or our Instagram post for the specific event that you’re looking for tickets. You could try sending us a DM and we’ll notify you if we happen to hear about any available ticket - and have capacity to follow up on it. A last show is showing up at the venue on the day and check if anyone has notified us they have any unused tickets.

You’ve got up to 5 minutes to win some hearts (on behalf of your friend, of course). Most people keep it simple—a few slides, some great anecdotes, maybe a couple of jokes. But honestly? You can do whatever you want, as long as it’s positive and shows your friend in their best light.

Want to do a dramatic reading of their Hinge profile? Go for it. A slideshow with baby photos and testimonials from their grandma? Iconic. Interpretive dance? Bold. A catchy jingle? We’d love that.
This isn’t a high-stakes competition—but the more creative, heartfelt, or hilarious you make it, the better your friend will shine.

Just make sure the last slide includes the best way to connect with your friend along with a picture! We will put this last slide on rotation during the mingle time along with the other featured singles.

Bring the energy, bring the charm, and have some fun with it!

Yes, absolutely—you can come solo! In fact, many of our audience members do. If you’d feel more comfortable knowing you’ll have someone to sit with, just let us know—we’re happy to help you find a buddy for the event.

Or, feel free to walk up and ask to join someone with an open seat. It’s a friendly crowd, and we’re all about meeting new people and making new connections. You’ll fit right in!

In general, all our shows are ticketed, but we do have special shows with venues with no cover, or free for members, or as part as a festival where entry will be free for festival pass holders.

No. The event should be a fun and positive experience for everyone involved, so even though your friend might like the surprise, we don’t want anyone in the audience being afraid they might be pitched without them knowing - or consenting.

No! Only those who signed up to pitch beforehand will be part of the event. Everyone else can just enjoy the show, and mingle with everyone during the breaks and mingle time.

Yes, no problem. Unless the show is marked as an international show, it will mainly be in Norwegian, but basically everyone understands English. Just notify us in the signup form and we’ll provide all the information you need in English, and you can present in either English or Norwegian.

The average age of participants being pitched is 31, and we’ve had folks pitched all the way up to 65!

We also host some age-specific events, and events focused on different interests or sexual orientations. Don’t forget that even though you may not see your perfect match on stage, they may be in the audience!

Typically, there are around 10 pitches per event, but this may vary depending on what type of show, the venue size and the size of the city it’s held in.

Yes—we ask that the person you’re pitching is present at the event. It’s a special experience: getting hyped up in front of a crowd that’s genuinely rooting for you. We want everyone to feel seen, celebrated, and maybe even a little flattered!
Plus, being there makes it easy for anyone who’s curious to say hi—and who knows, your friend might just spot someone interesting in the audience too.

Nope, not at all! You don’t have to be single to pitch—just willing to hype up your friend in a fun, positive way and brave enough to do it in front of a crowd. That’s what it’s all about!
If you are single, pitching is also a sneaky-great way to put yourself out there while doing something awesome for your friend. Win-win!

Unfortunately you can’t pitch yourself, but you could be pitched by a friend, colleague, neighbour or a family member. While waiting for someone to be willing to pitch you, we recommend coming to our events just to watch as that is at least half the fun. In addition to seeing all the pitches, you get to mingle with all the singles in the audience afterwards.

Most venues and shows have free seating, and we only reserve seats for those pitching and being pitched, so if you want a seat - or a specially good one - we recommend you come early! Before some shows, we also have a pregame event in the same room as the Pitch-A-Friend show. We recommend coming for the pregame regardless, but if you do, you’ve already secured seats for the whole night. Those who only have tickets for the Pitch-A-Friend show can enter only after the pregame is finished.

Yes! Two can pitch a friend together. Just make sure to include the co-presenter's name in pitch request form and make sure to buy a ticket for the third person as there are only two free tickets for the event included in each pitch.

Yes! We often have friends pitch each other at our events, and it’s a great way of both getting the pitch buzz - but also getting to show yourself off as fun and cool on stage presenting your friend! We even have friend groups taking turns pitching each other! Just submit one request per single person, and make a note in the Form Comment that you are friends pitching each other so that you both/all get a spot if available.

Because there are limited spots, we do not typically allow a presenter to pitch more than one friend. You can submit a separate request for the second friend, and we can waitlist you to determine if there’s space closer to the event. Each request submission is for one friend only.

Cancellations are rare, but they do happen—sometimes just days before the event. If a spot opens up close to the date, we’ll offer it to multiple people on the waitlist, and it’ll go to the first person who confirms.

Best move? Have your slides ready to go, just in case. That way, if your moment comes, you’re ready to shine!

This depends very much on the venue and if there’s a pregame event before the show, but usually it’s pretty packed already 30 min before show start. At some venues, there might not be enough seats for everyone, so if you want to be sure not to have to stand during the show, we recommend coming early. We mainly book our shows at venues with both bar and food service, so you may enjoy a dinner out - and maybe meet some new friends - while you wait for the show to start.

No. After you’ve submitted your presentation, it will be included in one presentation with all slides for the event, so all changes must be done manually. Please make sure everything is correct and finalized before you send us your Canva link.
