Yes, it has come to this: hopeful LA singles can now put their romantic destiny in the hands of a panel — two people they know and one celebrity they don't — live on stage. Guided with quick wit and avuncular charm by J. Keith van Straaten (former host of Comedy Central's Beat the Geeks), the panel vets three potential suitors for the gal or guy in the hot seat, then the show sends the pair off on a real date. It's good, hilarious, cringe-y fun. In coming weeks, celebrity matchmakers include Alex Bornstein, Susan Olsen, and special surprise guests.

ACME Comedy Theatre says…

Unlike other dating shows from the last 30 years, THE FIX-UP SHOW promises civility, with no humiliation, objectifying, drunken seduction, or having to eat bugs to prove one's affection. It's a dating show where the participants have an actual chance of finding a good date. It’s all real, spontaneous, and fun for all.
