OVERVIEW
Special Event
Restrictions
Julie Golden is a stand-up comic, reality TV producer, and the creator of The Big D — a live comedy matchmaking show for divorced singles that’s been featured in The LA Times and consistently sells out at Westside Comedy Theater in Santa Monica.
A former film executive turned true crime podcaster turned comedy host (yes, it’s been a journey), Julie brings sharp wit and real heart to the stage. The Big D blends real-time matchmaking, audience participation, and a panel of comedian “love experts” — think The Dating Game meets Whose Line Is It Anyway, for people who’ve been through some things.
She recently brought Emmy & Grammy winner Kathy Griffin onstage as a celebrity bachelorette, and now she’s taking the show on the road — because heartbreak might be local, but laughter is universal.
Schedule:
6:00–6:30PM – Single Mingle
6:30–8:00PM – Live Matchmaking Show
8:00–8:30PM – Post-Show Mingle
