Asheville, are you ready to heat things up? Blind Date Live is back at The Orange Peel on February 21st, 2026! Voted Best Comedy Event in the 2025 Best of WNC Awards, this live show promises a night where love is unscripted, unfiltered, and more than a little unpredictable. Whether you're single and ready to mingle or just there to see sparks fly, this is your chance to witness true love unfold in real time. Doors open at 6:30 PM, and we’re kicking things off with a sultry mixer from 6:30-7:30 PM to set the mood. Slip into the crowd, grab a drink, and who knows, you might just lock eyes with someone special. Or... maybe they’re just looking for the bathroom. How about that one? Oh, nope, they're waving to their friend behind you. Awkward. Then, at 8 PM, the real fun begins. Hosted by Donnie Rex Bishop and Cayla Clark, watch as real Asheville singles dive headfirst into live first dates onstage. Meanwhile, the fabulous Toni Brown will be our maître d', making sure everything runs smoothly, and DJ Lil Meow Meow will be spinning tunes to keep the energy going all night long. There might be fireworks, there WILL be intense oversharing, and you’ll be on the edge of your seat through it all. Don’t worry, though—the audience is strictly there to watch. No participation required. This isn’t just another night out. It’s steamy, unpredictable, and full of moments you’ll never forget (and a few you might wish you could). Whether you’re here to watch romance bloom, relish in the awkward moments, or just soak up the perversion, Blind Date Live has you covered. See you there. Ticket price includes applicable sales tax.
