We're Coming to Mangalore!Mangalore is on the tour list. Sign up below and help us get there! Everyone on the list gets tickets first when we announce.
Mangalore sits at the intersection of Karnataka, Kerala, and the coast, and the culture reflects all three. NITK Surathkal produces engineers, the medical colleges produce doctors, and the city’s food scene (ghee roast, neer dosa, fish curry) produces lifelong loyalists. The Mangalorean identity is strong whether you’re Konkani, Tulu, or Beary.
The format from New York: real contestants go on live dates on stage while the room watches and reacts. Afterward, the whole crowd mingles. Mangalore has the audience, the comedy infrastructure, and the appetite for live entertainment. This is the show that fills the gap between the apps and the aunty network.
The Mangalorean diaspora is global and tight knit. A show in the hometown would draw people back for the weekend from Bangalore, Mumbai, and beyond. The community connections run deep, which means word of mouth would do the marketing for us.
Waitlist is open. Mangalore, or apply to be a contestant.
Mangalore's communities run parallel and rarely cross
Coastal Karnataka's social genius is community depth: Bunt networks, Konkani Catholic parishes, Mogaveera associations and GSB circles, each with institutions, halls and introduction systems of their own. Mangalore's young singles inherit strong belonging and narrow lanes, and the city's growing banking, healthcare and tech workforce increasingly wants a room where the lanes merge.
The show is deliberately lane-free: one stage, one crowd, every community's singles in the same mixer for the first time outside a college fest.
What a Garam Masala night in Mangalore looks like
An NITK graduate and a hospital administrator who have never met, on stage, going on a first date while the coast's famously sharp-tongued crowd reacts in three languages. Comedian hosts, live votes and a mixer where the ghee roast arrives whether ordered or not.
