Pitch Your Mate
About
A live dating night where your friends do the selling for you.
Got a single mate who deserves better than dating apps? Pitch them to a room of eligible singles in a light-hearted, warm, 3–5 minute presentation.
Pitch Your Mate is a social night for singles and their friends.
Instead of swiping through profiles, real people stand up and pitch someone they know, love and can vouch for.
It’s part comedy, part wingman duty, part dating event — and a much better story than “we matched online.”
Reviews
"Pecha Kucha Nights Johannesburg is always a treat... and the standard gets higher every time. The new venue (The Tryst, now at Kramerville, Sandton) adds a whole new edge. With more seats, a spacious gallery and casual seating, there is more reason than ever to show up early and stay late to connect with the speakers, community and other interesting people. "

"It was my 2nd time attending an event. It is always so inspiring. It was great seeing so many young people attending the event. The speakers all made an impact. The overall message for me was “don’t let fear stifle your growth.”"

"It was a well-organized event, a beautiful venue & a great MC. I loved each of the presenters' topics. It is also an excellent format & safe place for any presenter to master their stage presence.
I think a practice session ahead of the event should be made compulsory for presenters - just like the slide deck had to be in a week before. It makes a big difference.... even after I had practiced at home; I found the stage unnerving & it did help that I had squeezed in a session beforetime.
The encouragement to share on social media is a great one - it raises the profile of the event. I got many people asking: what was that all about? They had no idea what Pechakucha was all about. Now they know."
