More is More Matchmaking - Pitch Please!

More Is More Presents: Pitch, Please! A Comedy-Fueled Non-Monogamous Matchmaking Experience December 16, 2026 | The Hub, Redwood City What happens when you give a stand-up comedian a slide deck about a complete stranger and ask them to convince a room full of people to date them? We're about to find out. WELCOME to More Is More: Pitch, Please! An intersectional, non-monogamous matchmaking experience held for beloveds, by beloveds — now with a comedic twist! More Is More brings together OPEN, committed, curious, silly, and connection-seeking humans who believe there are better ways to meet people than swiping through dating apps. This time, we're adding stand-up comedians, unexpected crowd work, and a whole lot of laughter to the magic of matchmaking. Eight amazing singles. Eight slide decks. A room full of potential connections. And absolutely no guarantees about what comes out of a comedian's mouth. The Concept: Pitch, Please! Dating apps ask us to sell ourselves. More Is More asks us to celebrate each other. Traditionally, someone takes the stage to pitch a person they adore — a partner, meta, beloved, friend, collaborator, or chosen family member. They share what makes their person special, what lights them up, what kinds of connections they're seeking, and why someone in the room might be lucky enough to connect with them. For this special edition, we're shaking things up! Some singles will be pitched by the people who know and love them. Others will have their slide decks handed to stand-up comedians who have never met them before. Expect affectionate roasting, hilarious improvisation, unexpected discoveries, audience participation, and plenty of opportunities to spark something real. It's part matchmaking, part comedy, and entirely a celebration of human connection. How It Works Want to be pitched? We're accepting applications for eight featured persons! You can: • Pitch Your Person: Create a 3–5 minute slide deck and take the stage to celebrate someone wonderful in your life. • Pitch a Stranger: Submit a slide deck about yourself, or have someone who knows you create it. We'll hand it to a stand-up comedian who has never met you and let the magic (and mischief) unfold. Your slides should tell us who you are, what makes you wonderfully YOU, what you care about, what kinds of connections you're seeking, and what capacity you have available. All featured singles must consent to participating. Expect laughter. Expect surprises. And maybe expect a date. Audience = Essential! You do NOT need to be pitched to attend! In fact, the audience is one of the most important parts of More Is More. The larger and more diverse the room, the more opportunities there are for resonance, connection, and unexpected magic. Come to cheer people on. Come to laugh. Come to flirt. Come to meet new humans. There will be crowd work, audience interaction, love notes, and dedicated time to connect with the people who catch your eye — whether they were on stage or sitting right beside you. Because matchmaking isn't just for the eight people being pitched. Everyone in the room is part of the magic. The Experience 6:30 PM — Doors Open Arrive, grab a drink, meet some new humans, and settle in. 7:00–7:45 PM — Act One: The First Four Pitches Our first four singles take the spotlight through a mix of heartfelt pitches, stand-up comedy, and playful crowd work. 7:45–8:15 PM — Intermission: Connection & Bar Break Time to mingle, flirt, write love notes, and follow up on those sparks. 8:15–9:00 PM — Act Two: Four More Pitches More singles, more comedy, more unexpected connections. 9:00–10:00 PM — Mingling The stage is done, but the connecting is just getting started. Spend time getting to know the humans who intrigued you. Why We're Doing This Because we believe connection deserves more creativity, more community, more laughter, and more celebration. More Is More is rooted in compersion, pride, care, and the radical idea that we should celebrate the people we love out loud. And sometimes the most compelling recommendation comes from someone who already knows your heart. Other times, apparently, it comes from a comedian with a PowerPoint presentation and absolutely no personal knowledge of you. Either way, matches get made here! FAQs Do I need to be non-monogamous to attend? This event centers the non-monogamous and OPEN community and welcomes people who are curious, respectful, and interested in connecting within that culture. How do I apply to be pitched? Complete our application! You can nominate yourself or someone you know (with their consent). Selected participants will receive instructions for their slide decks and presentation format. What if I don't have anyone to pitch me? That's what our comedians are for! You can create your own deck, or have someone help you put one together, and let a comedian take it from there. Do I have to be single to participate? Not at all! We welcome people across the spectrum of ethical non-monogamy, from solo poly to partnered and everything in between. What matters is being open to new connections and clear about your capacity. Is this a good event to meet people if I'm not being pitched? Absolutely! Most attendees won't be featured on stage. Come ready to participate, cheer, mingle, and meet wonderful humans. Will there be audience participation? Yes! Expect playful crowd work, opportunities to ask questions, and plenty of ways to connect. Participation is encouraged, never forced. What is venue accessibility like? The event is located on the second floor of The Hub. There is a flight of stairs and no ramp.

A writer, performer, open-mic host, and enthusiastic hype-woman, she loves creating spaces where people can show up fully, laugh together, and connect in meaningful ways.
