Sex with Jenna: Dating Show

“Community lifting, educational, funny as f*ck show”

About the Dating Show

Tired of Tinder? Hating Hinge? Fumbling on Bumble? Time to try something new and brave. Come watch or participate in a classic dating game to find a match and win prizes. Dating in a small city is hard enough. Let’s make dating more FUN and EFFECTIVE. Everyone is welcome to attend, learn, build loving community, practice vulnerability, and apply to be on the show!

About the show format:

I’m bringing back the classic Dating Game show from the 1960s. One “dater” and three contestants are hidden from one another. The dater asks the contestants a series of questions to determine who may be their best match. Winners will get a $50 gift card for a sponsored first date. Expect interactive games, sex education, and mingling opportunities for partnered & single audience members to play, connect, and win prizes. Everyone has a chance to find new connections and expand their social circles. Flirting is encouraged, but not required! The games and questions will range from sincere to unhinged. This is a live dating comedy show, after all… let’s have FUN with it!

How to apply to be on the show:

Apply here by June 22nd, 2026! After you apply, I will do my best to create matches for the show based on the applicants. Chosen participants get into the show for free and have the chance to match with fellow singles and win date prizes. All gender and sexual identities (straight/ queer/ young/ older) and relationship structures (monogamous/ polyamorous/ open) are encouraged to apply! Never know who may be in the applicant pool waiting to date you…
