Are you tired of online dating? Do you get verbal diarrhoea on a date? Do you want to see someone else bring to life all your dating nightmares in a form of a game show? If you answered yes to at least one of these questions or none of them then this show is for you. This is your chance to rewrite your dating history and help us write this show.

Everyone is welcome no matter the level of experience in both game shows and dating. The host of this show, Olga, has been only on 5 dates in Australia... in five years. This show is her way learning how to date in Australia. Who knows, maybe she'll find that great Aussie love - one thing she never got to do while living here. If you’re new to this country, or from here, don’t waste your time and come to “Dating Roulette”!

Olga has previously produced shows like "Olgavision", "Temporary Visa Holder" and "Comedy Roulette" (co-produced). She has been a regular in the Melbourne comedy scene since 2019. She is originally from Estonia where she first started doing comedy. This might be your last chance to see her perform in Australia since her visa is running out.


"Olga brought laughs with her dry wit, unique perspective and the rapport built from some banter with the audience." - Hugging Comedians
