We're Coming to Manipal!Manipal is on the tour list. Sign up below and help us get there! Everyone on the list gets tickets first when we announce.
Manipal is one of India’s most unique college towns. Manipal Academy of Higher Education draws students from every state and a dozen countries. The entire town revolves around the university, which means the dating pool is concentrated, young, and turns over every few years. End Point, Manipal Lake, and the strip of restaurants and cafes are where everyone ends up.
The format from New York: real contestants go on live dates on stage while the room watches and reacts. Afterward, the whole crowd mingles. Manipal 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 Manipal experience is defined by being in a small town with a big student population. Everyone’s social circle overlaps. The dating dynamics are intense because the world is small. A show that makes the whole thing public, funny, and intentional is the release valve this crowd needs.
Waitlist is open. Manipal, or apply to be a contestant.
Manipal is a dating pool pretending to be a town
Manipal exists because of MAHE: tens of thousands of students from every corner of India and sixty countries, stacked into a few square kilometres of hostels, cafes and viewpoints. The demographic density of single 18 to 25 year olds here is unmatched anywhere on our world map, and the social infrastructure is fests, DeeTee nights and hope.
A live dating show in Manipal is barely a risk, it is a census with entertainment. The only planning challenge is the ticket queue.
What a Garam Masala night in Manipal looks like
A medical student and an engineering finalist who have never met, statistically miraculous here, on stage, going on a first date while the entire town reacts at fest-final volume. Comedian hosts, live votes and a mixer that ends at End Point for the sunrise, because Manipal tradition permits nothing less.
