Die Liefde is 'n Snaakse Ding
Channel: VIA (DStv 147)
TX Time: 20h00
Genre: Dating Game Show, Reality, Comedy, Afrikaans
In this unscripted comedy dating show, two comedians - Mandri Sutherland and Schalk Bezuidenhout - become friendly rivals in their quest to match eager, willing and ready singles through humour.
Singles meet up at a comedy club where two resident comedians do sets.
Those who laugh the loudest at the same set are paired together by our comedians to hopefully be a match made in humour.
Every episode begins in a studio comedy club where the audience consists of 20 singles who are battle-ready to find love.
Each sits at a cocktail table with a drink of their choice, a dim table lamp for company and a laugh-o-meter, expertly calibrated to indicate their laughter levels during the jokes.
The singles who laugh at the same set of jokes are paired up by the comedians in the hope that they might be perfect humour matches.
Each comedian then matches up one couple to go on an utterly laughable date (also planned by the comedians) to see if their matches are still sharing giggles and gags.
Or not.
They predict which couples will last and check in a month later to see whether couples that laugh together, stay together.
Now the big question remains: will they find love or will this whole experience be just a joke?
