Single-Stresstest

Your dating profile? A real reaction.

Eight minutes, an absurd mission and an improv cast that knows what’s coming. The way you laugh, improvise and make decisions says more than a perfect introduction.

Time in the room
8 minutes
The setup
One single person. One room.
Taking part
Ages 18 and over
  1. Step inside

    You know the ground rules. What awaits you in the room remains a surprise.

  2. React

    The cast is prepared. What you make of the situation is up to you.

  3. Be yourself

    Your reactions reveal something no profile description could capture.

The eight minutes refer to the time spent in the room. Participation, recording and publication are agreed individually. You can stop at any time.

Die Idee bleibt

Who makes it through: you, your team or your idea?

Strangers with different strengths form two teams. Each has four minutes to develop an idea. They take turns in separate rooms and cannot hear each other. The audience follows both sides.

Then come tests, challenges and fresh thinking. Individuals, whole teams or ideas can be eliminated. New contestants are ready to join. An idea can keep going even after the people who first imagined it have left. JJ hosts the show.

Teams
Two teams. Different strengths.
Idea round
4 minutes per team
Host
JJ
  1. Meet your team

    You haven’t met before. Your different strengths are the starting point.

  2. Develop an idea

    Develop your idea while the other team waits. The audience watches it take shape.

  3. Stay in the game

    Challenges reshape the teams. New people can carry an existing idea forward.

The show is in development. The plan is for the audience at the venue to vote through this website using a QR code. Voting will only open for a confirmed show date. Participation terms will be agreed separately.

Interviewüberfall

Your day. Your personality. A charming surprise.

A café, a university campus or a Christmas market. You’re going about your day when someone seems to recognise you. The conversation takes an unexpected turn. Gradually, it becomes a big interview that people you know helped us plan.

Our cameras capture the scene. The overenthusiastic press crew is part of the act. Afterwards, we explain everything in person. With your permission, the footage can become a dating profile that shows your personality and opens the door to new connections.

Everyday life
The idea
A surprise becomes a dating profile
  1. Nominate

    Tell us your idea for someone you know who is single, without sharing their personal details yet.

  2. Prepare

    We coordinate with the venue. The surprise starts small and builds gradually.

  3. Reveal

    We explain everything in person. Publication and any way to get in touch require separate approval.

The specific setup is reviewed editorially and legally before production. A friend’s or venue’s agreement does not replace individual rights clearance. A nomination through this website grants no recording or publication rights.

Images coming soon.

Two singles. One table.

DATE MIT REGIE

Two singles. One conversation. Unexpected instructions.

You sit across from each other at a table. Each of you can see the screen behind the other person. It gives you unexpected roles or instructions. Follow the cues and try to keep the conversation going as though nothing unusual is happening.

A variation of Single-Stresstest. The specific instructions remain a surprise.
