UpDating

UpDating is a critically acclaimed, high-energy live dating and comedy experiment returning to the Hollywood Improv Main Room on Wednesday, February 4, 2026. Created and hosted by NYC-based comedians Brandon Berman and Harrison Forman, the show has been dubbed “the most raw dating show in existence” for its unique format: bringing two local singles together for a blindfolded first date in front of a live audience. What follows is a hilarious and unfiltered 90-minute “reality TV on stage” experience, complete with audience participation, real-time feedback on modern romance, and Berman’s sharp comedic riffs on the daters’ interactions. Since its viral success on TikTok and YouTube, UpDating has grown into a national touring phenomenon, often concluding with “after-hours” parties where singles in the crowd can mingle and potentially find their own matches.
