Chicken Shop Date is a British YouTube interview show created and hosted by Amelia Dimoldenberg, and produced by her production company Dimz Inc. [1] The show features celebrity interviews that are framed as dates in a local chicken shop.
The first YouTube video was posted in March 2014, and as of March 2024, 88 episodes have been released.
The show has been nominated for several awards, winning Indie Series at the Streamy Awards in 2022 after garnering popularity for its "gleeful subversion of the classic late-night talk show format." [2]
The format of Chicken Shop Date involves Amelia Dimoldenberg meeting a celebrity guest at a local chicken shop for a date, where they engage in casual, awkward, and sometimes flirtatious conversation.
Chicken Shop Date originally began as a column written by a then 17-year-old Dimoldenberg for her local under-21s youth magazine. [3] Beginning by interviewing 'friends of friends', she decided to frame the chats as dates 'because that might be a fun way to interview people'. [4] The location of a chicken shop was chosen as "somewhere you wouldn't expect to be taken on a first date". [4]
In 2014 Dimoldenberg met a camera operator, whom she "convinced to help film one of her dates". [5] This was with the Ghetts and was the first Chicken Shop Date video uploaded to YouTube. It attracted just over one thousand views in the first two weeks. [5]
Dimoldenberg has revealed that each episode takes around forty minutes to film, but finished episodes last no longer than eight minutes. "Only the funniest, flirtiest moments survive, spliced together with strategically deployed B-roll of food prep and the chicken shop's staff at work." [2]
