Hot Pursuit: Confessions of a Speed Dater
He’s single, gay, 33—and if dating were a sport, he’d have retired injured.
After a decade of awkward silences, ghostings, and men who think “What do you do?” is a personality, Matt Bell took a leap into speed dating. Spoiler alert: it went horribly.
Award-nominated comedian Matt Bell returns with a hilariously raw recount of one night, countless bad dates, and the absolute worst of modern romance. From the guy who pitched a pyramid scheme to the men with more baggage than an airport carousel, Matt spares no detail.
Expect shocking secrets, cringe-worthy moments, and an endless parade of disappointing men, all from the safety of your seat. Come laugh, cringe, and feel grateful for your own love life because . . . at least you weren’t there.
