Full account
Amelia Dimoldenberg’s *Chicken Shop Date* will get a one-night cinema run as the presenter brings the long-running interview series to a close. The final series will screen on 24 November in a joint event with YouTube’s Cine Club, ahead of the last episode’s release on YouTube three days later.
The six episodes will be shown together with new material made for the cinema presentation. The screening will end with the final episode, which has not yet been released online. The programme is described as including comedy and recollections, as well as a more personal account of Dimoldenberg’s connection to the show and her decision to end it.
The public event is listed for cinemas in Britain, Ireland and Paris, including venues in London, Brighton, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol, Birmingham and Dublin. The reports also mention invitation-only premieres before the public date. One gives London and New York dates of 16 and 17 November; the other says London on 16 November and New York on 19 November. Both say Dimoldenberg is due to take part in question-and-answer sessions at the premieres.
Dimoldenberg announced last month that the series would end, describing the decision as a move on from an adventure that would remain part of her. She began *Chicken Shop Date* as a column at 17; the filmed YouTube series launched in 2014. Its deadpan celebrity interviews, staged in local chicken shops, have featured guests from music, film, television and sport. The reports frame the cinema event as both a farewell and a chance for fans to see the final episode early.
Where outlets differ
From the full account, which is AI-written from the sources:
The accounts disagree on the date of the New York invitation-only premiere: Source 1 gives 17 November, while Source 2 gives 19 November.
Source 1 lists nine specific cinemas across the UK, Ireland and Paris. Source 2 describes the event as playing at ten theatres in London and Paris, a narrower geographic summary that does not match Source 1’s venue list.
Source 1 foregrounds the film’s reflective, behind-the-scenes element and names guests already featured in the final series. Source 2 gives more background on the show’s origins and highlights notable past guests.
Explained simply
Chicken Shop Date is an interview series created and hosted by British comedian and presenter Amelia Dimoldenberg. She meets musicians and other well-known guests in chicken shops, using dry humour and awkward silences to shape conversations that differ from conventional celebrity interviews.
The show first appeared online and built an audience over 12 years, with episodes released on YouTube. Dimoldenberg is also known for presenting red-carpet interviews, including at the Oscars. The series’ ending marks a change for a format that has been a prominent part of her work and online comedy.
