Amelia Dimoldenberg to Host First-Ever Chicken Shop Date Live Event in London
In a milestone moment for UK digital culture, Amelia Dimoldenberg, the creative force behind the viral hit Chicken Shop Date, is set to launch a two-day immersive experience in London.
Chicken Shop Date: 10 Years Of An Idea Served By YouTube
The event, titled Chicken Shop Date: 10 Years Of An Idea Served By YouTube, will run from September 26 to 27, 2025, at Protein Studios in Shoreditch. Backed by YouTube, which marks its own 20th anniversary this year, the experience promises to be a celebration of a decade-long journey that has transformed a quirky online interview show into a global pop culture phenomenon.
Dimoldenberg, whose YouTube channel now boasts more than 3.2 million subscribers, described the event as both a tribute to her show’s success and a call to action for aspiring creators.
Celebrating a Decade of Chicken Shop Date
Launched in 2014, Chicken Shop Date began humbly as a column in a youth magazine before evolving into one of YouTube’s most beloved series. Known for its distinctive format, the show features Dimoldenberg interviewing celebrities over fried chicken, blending awkward humour with surprisingly deep conversations.
Over the years, the series has attracted A-list stars. Guests have included Idris Elba, Andrew Garfield, Sabrina Carpenter, and Ed Sheeran, with Garfield’s interview alone drawing more than 12 million views. Most recently, Paul Mescal and Harris Dickinson, set to portray Paul McCartney and John Lennon in Sam Mendes’ highly anticipated Beatles films, joined the roster of high-profile guests.
This celebration reflects how far the content landscape has evolved over the past decade, and how Chicken Shop Date has remained both relevant and innovative.
Inside the Two-Day Interactive Experience
The London event will offer more than just nostalgia. Dimoldenberg and her creative studio Dimz Inc. have curated an immersive programme designed to inspire and educate.
Highlights include:
-
Behind-the-scenes exhibits showing the making of Chicken Shop Date
-
Live panel discussions with leading digital creators, many featuring Dimoldenberg herself
-
Hands-on workshops focused on digital content creation, audience building, and storytelling
The event aims to give attendees practical insights into breaking into the industry.
Tickets are expected to sell out quickly, with demand coming not only from London but from major UK cities like Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, and Sheffield, where Dimoldenberg’s audience is especially strong.
Dimz Inc. Future of UK Creative Talent
Dimoldenberg’s role as a creator extends far beyond her YouTube series. In 2018, she founded Dimz Inc., a creative studio and production company specialising in original formats and branded entertainment. The company focuses on short-form episodic content, making it a natural hub for brands and creators navigating the fast-paced world of digital media.
Last month, Dimz Inc. launched Dimz Inc. Academy, a free educational initiative in partnership with charity Spiral Skills. The academy provides resources and mentorship to young people who may not otherwise have access to opportunities in media production.
This push for inclusivity mirrors broader trends in the UK’s creative industries, where diversity and accessibility have become pressing priorities.
YouTube celebrates 20 years Reshaping Entertainment
As YouTube celebrates 20 years of reshaping entertainment, Dimoldenberg’s event serves as a timely reflection on how digital creators have become cultural powerhouses.
Chicken Shop Date’s influence now extends into traditional entertainment spheres. The show is increasingly being used as part of film and music marketing campaigns, offering a fresh alternative to traditional press junkets. This hybrid approach demonstrates how creators like Dimoldenberg are bridging the gap between online culture and mainstream media.
The upcoming live event positions London as a hub for digital innovation, while highlighting the UK’s role as a leader in global content creation. It also provides a rare opportunity for fans and aspiring creators to learn directly from one of the most successful voices in the industry.
A Celebration of Creativity
Amelia Dimoldenberg’s upcoming Chicken Shop Date event is more than a celebration of past success. It represents a commitment to fostering new talent and pushing the boundaries of what digital media can achieve.
For anyone looking to break into content creation or simply celebrate one of the UK’s most iconic YouTube series, this Shoreditch event is set to be a must-attend experience. Tickets and additional details will be available through YouTube and Dimz Inc.’s official channels.
