You’re poor, you’re single, and you live with three of your closest frienemies in a two-bedroom Brooklyn apartment. And you are, surprise surprise, single as hell. Well friend, you have two choices. You can spend another evening curled up with your MacBook enjoying the warm glow of Pornhub.

Yes, it’s the dating show that matches real singles rolling with singles; where you and all your broke-as-f*ck friends can meet, greet, and get set up in a fun and funny environment.. Last month, we paired a Bear Jew with a sex store clerk and a Karate Kid with some drunk-ass makeout sessions.

You may have heard about us on NPR’s Morning Edition, or read about us in The NY Press, and in the Park Slope Patch. We were also covered on the evening news in NYC and China. Yes, Chinese national TV!

FELLAS: Finally, your chance to have women out of your league compete for your affections, even though you are pretty much broke.
LADIES: Our Hundredaires will BUY YOU A DRINK, with real money not foodstamps, because you can’t buy booze with foodstamps unless the guy who works at your bodega is cool.

Entering is as easy as filing for your weekly unemployment claim - fellas and ladies, all you have to do is shoot an email to 100matchmaker@gmail.com with this info:
* OCCUPATION (IF ANY)
* CURRENT PICTURE
* WHAT WAS YOUR BEST DATE EXPERIENCE
* WHAT WAS YOUR WORST DATE EXPERIENCE

No, ok, second date or later would be finding the quirkiest thing that sounds fun in the Voice or Time Out, that we’ve never done, and trying it out. Like, once, went to a pasties-making class at Babeland. I was the only guy on a date there, but it was a fun time. And, hey, I made my own pasties. Probably why they tore down the Slipper Room.

But seriously. an ideal date would involve meeting me for a gallery opening, walking over to the nearest place that sold egg creams afterwards (drinking those in the park) — debating on whether or not to go roller or ice-skating, settling for a couple of beers at the nearest metal bar, finding out that there’s a show playing, and rounding out the night with some seriously atonal karaoke.‬

Sure, we’ve all seen the TV show Millionaire Matchmaker and thought, “Hey, I’m single and kind of a tool, but I’m also kind of broke. How will I ever fulfill my dreams of being brought onto someone’s show, made fun of, and then matched up with an outer-boroughs golddigger?”

Well, have we got some good news for you - Union Hall, in conjunction with comedians Liam McEnean…ey and Myka Fox, are launching an all-new show/singles event titled “Hundredaire Matchmaker,” where you and all your broke-as-f*ck friends can meet, greet, and get set up in a fun and funny environment.
