About

If you've ever walked into a bar and wondered who's single, who's interested, or how to start a conversation, we've taken the guesswork out of it.

  • Guided speed mingling rounds early on, so you meet lots of different people in a relaxed, natural way
  • After that the structure fades out, conversations carry on, and the venue is yours to enjoy
  • From 11pm we make our way over to the official afterparty at The 86 in Fitzroy. Your ticket includes free entry to the Late Show (usually $14)
  • Book before 26 November to join the event's private WhatsApp group, open from the day before until the day after, to say hi and maybe find someone to walk in with, or exhcange some details after

Who is this for: men seeking men of all ages (18+). Whether you're newly single, new to Melbourne, getting back into dating, or simply want a bigger social circle.

Your host, Ben, is a friendly mental health professional who's passionate about event design that normalises anxiety as a part of life, and makes space for people where…
