Pitch Your Mate

(98)

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.”

"I had the privilege of attending PechaKucha Night in Johannesburg on Thursday, and it was an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere was electric—filled with creativity, inspiration, and the vibrant energy of people passionate about sharing their ideas and stories. The format of 20 slides with 20 seconds each kept every presentation dynamic and engaging. It was incredible to see how diverse topics could come to life in such a concise, visually rich way. Each speaker brought something unique to the table, from thought-provoking insights to moments of humor and vulnerability. The event was well-organized, and the venue created the perfect setting for connection and conversation. I walked away not only inspired but also feeling part of a larger community that values innovation, storytelling, and meaningful dialogue. If you're looking for an event that ignites creativity and leaves you buzzing with ideas, PechaKucha is a must-attend. Johannesburg, you nailed it!"

"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. "
