From Wikipedia:

Chicken Shop Date is a British YouTube interview show created and hosted by Amelia Dimoldenberg, and produced by her production company Dimz Inc. The show features celebrity interviews that are framed as dates in a local chicken shop.

The series’ first YouTube video was posted in March 2014, and as of March 13, 2026, 113 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.”

Format

The format of Chicken Shop Date involves Amelia Dimoldenberg meeting a celebrity guest at a local chicken shop for a date. A humorous element is the setting of the chicken shop, a brightly lit fast food shop that is generally not considered a romantic setting.

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.” Questions asked are often chaotic, awkward, and playful, as well as questions such as “snog, marry, avoid?”. Dimoldenberg flirts with her guests, often alternating between flattery and teasing insults. […]
