Influenced by the 2024 viral sensation, stand-up comedian and entertainment personality Aaron Branch unveils another Pitch Perfect comedy sketch/competition contest.
In this version of the project titled Turn To Date, Branch is joined by three friends and fellow comedians, Maddi Mays, Shaena Rabbani, and Natalie Orsi, as they volunteer to sit in turning chairs and listen to the possible relationship pitches from attractive, yet slightly awkward, singles.
The contestant will not be able to see their options, only hear their voices, and base their decisions solely on the interest of their pitches. If the singles pitches seem appealing, the contestants will turn their chairs and begin a new first date, visually having a one-on-one, intimate interview with their options.
Would you date someone without seeing their face?
