Perfect Mash: A Dating Show
Perfect Mash is an inclusive dating show from Hot Potato Hearts! Come early to the show to mingle, flirt, and most importantly fill out compatibility quizzes for each featured dater they are interested in. The show itself will be a combination of games, interviews, and storytelling exploring what our featured daters need and want out of their Perfect Mash. While the show is going on the Hot Potato Hearts team will be combing the quizzes filled out earlier to determine the three most compatible attendees for each featured dater. The daters will choose their Perfect Mash from their top three after chatting with them all on stage. The three Perfect Mashes will then blindly pick a date activity. Trust me you won’t be disappointed with these dates; friends of Hot Potato Hearts, Lincoln Hall, Uncommon Ground, Avondale Bowl, Central Park Bar, and Bernice’s Tavern to name a few, have graciously sponsored the winning dates.
Perfect Mash: A Dating Show
Perfect Mash is a dating show where audience members vie to win a date with one (or two… or three…) of three sexy contestants. Each contestant is hand-selected by our Mother Potato, Katie, and publicized beforehand on social media for everyone’s viewing pleasure. At the show, audience members can take a low-key, fun compatibility quiz for whoever catches their eye. If you score in the top two, you’ll head up on stage to answer questions from your potential Perfect Mash. Each contestant then chooses who they want to go on a date with based on their favorite response.
