Looking for love at Blind Date Live

You might just find your soulmate in front of a live audience.

Modern dating can be... a challenge. If you’re sick of endless swiping on dating apps and the impossibilities of meeting someone organically, Blind Date Live might just have the solution to all Asheville’s love woes: add a live audience into the mix.

Yes, you read that right. Hosted by matchmakers Cayla Clark and Donnie Rex Bishop, this show asks you to sit back and watch real local singles step out on stage to potentially fall in love — without seeing each others’ faces. It could be sweet and romantic, hilarious and absurd, or maybe just downright awkward. No matter what, you’ll be entertained.

The next Blind Date Live will take place at the Grey Eagle on Friday, Aug. 25. at 8 p.m. Tickets are $22 and include a mixer at 7 p.m., so even if you aren’t up on stage, you might just meet your match.
