We're Coming to Krakow!Krakow is on the tour list. Sign up below and help us get there! Everyone on the list gets tickets first when we announce.
Krakow is Poland's cultural capital and its second largest city, and the combination of AGH University of Science and Technology, Jagiellonian University, and a booming IT outsourcing sector have created a growing Indian community. AGH's mining, metallurgy, and IT programmes are the primary pipeline, but the city's business process outsourcing centres for companies like Capgemini, IBM, and Shell also employ South Asian professionals. The Kazimierz and Krowodrza districts are where the international community gravitates.
The format from New York: real contestants go on live dates on stage while the room watches and reacts. Afterward, the whole crowd mingles. In Krakow, this format is designed to concentrate the scattered desi community into one room for one night, creating connections that the apps and expat mixers never deliver.
The Indian community in Krakow is a mix of students, IT professionals on corporate postings, and a small but growing number of entrepreneurs. The dating scene for South Asians here is complicated by the same factors as elsewhere in Central Europe: small community, limited cultural events, and the need to explain your background to everyone you meet on the apps. This show removes the explanation and goes straight to connection.
Krakow's international student population is large, and the city's English language comedy and entertainment scene is growing. The cost of living makes it one of the best value cities in Europe for hosting events. A packed room of South Asian singles in a medieval Polish city is exactly the kind of unexpected combination that makes this show interesting.
Waitlist is open. Krakow is part of our Central European expansion. or apply to be a contestant.
Krakow's desi tech crowd lives in a postcard and swipes in it
Krakow pairs Poland's outsourcing and IT engine with its cultural capital: business services campuses full of desi analysts and engineers, AGH's technical cohorts and a medieval centre that makes every evening cinematic. The expat scene is pub quizzes and the desi layer within it has never once assembled.
One show assembles it under the Wawel's sightline, and the room doubles as the founding meeting of desi Malopolska.
What a Garam Masala night in Krakow looks like
A shared-services team lead and an AGH researcher who have never met, on stage, going on a first date while southern Poland's desi scene reacts in a brick cellar with perfect acoustics. Comedian hosts, live votes and a Kazimierz mixer where the zapiekanka run is the closing ritual.
