The Jewish Dating Game

It's a dating show. It's a Jewish party. It's a reason to connect.

Created and hosted by Linnea Sage, The Jewish Dating Game brings real people, Jewish humor and live matchmaking into one unforgettable room. Come with friends, a date or just your curiosity. You don't have to be a contestant, or even single, to be part of the fun.

Everyone’s invited to enjoy

You don't have to be single to have fun.

The Jewish Dating Game combines Jewish humor, live matchmaking and local partnerships, then gives everyone a chance to connect afterward. Singles, couples, friends, family and allies come for the comedy and surprises. Onstage dating participants are selected through a separate casting process, but the audience is part of the experience from beginning to end.

Established reach

40 shows

3,000+ in-person participations

300 contestants

In-person participations include repeat visits; they are not a count of unique audience members.

Beyond the matches

The real magic isn't limited to the stage.

When strangers have already laughed together, the next hello can feel easier. The onstage match is only part of the story; the mingle gives people a chance to start conversations of their own. We believe those moments can lead to friendships, dates and deeper Jewish community connections, and we're measuring what happens next.

Journey

From a New York stage to communities around the country.

Launched in 2024, The Jewish Dating Game developed a recurring New York City residency and has since appeared with Jewish institutions and cultural festivals elsewhere. The core show travels; the people and local collaborators make every edition distinct.
