Amelia Dimoldenberg's YouTube series Chicken Shop Date will be shown in cinemas for one night only next month, bringing the final series to the big screen.
The presenter announced on Instagram on Tuesday, October 27, that Chicken Shop Date: The Final Series will be compiled into a single film for a one-night-only screening on November 24.
The cinematic release will feature all six episodes from the final series, along with behind-the-scenes footage and additional material created especially for the event.
Cinema Locations and Early Finale
The screening will take place at Vue Westfield in Shepherd's Bush, alongside five other venues across the UK and Ireland, including cinemas in Birmingham, Bristol and Manchester.
Audiences will also get to watch the final episode before it is released anywhere else, giving fans an early look at the end of the long-running series.
Sharing the news on Instagram, Dimoldenberg said the film would take viewers through her decision to end the show, combining her final celebrity dates with moments from behind the scenes as she prepares to say goodbye to Chicken Shop Date.
Celebrating the Show's Legacy
She said: "It's a celebration of everything the show has meant to me, and one final chance to experience it together on the big screen."
The release marks the first time Chicken Shop Date has been shown in cinemas. The series, known for Dimoldenberg's deadpan humour and deliberately awkward celebrity interviews, has become a major online hit over the past decade.
What began as an unconventional take on the celebrity interview format has developed into a cultural phenomenon, with guests ranging from musicians to Hollywood stars appearing for dates over plates of chicken.
Tickets and Venues
Tickets for the one-night-only screening are on sale now, with the event available at selected Vue cinemas across the UK and Ireland.
The confirmed venues are:
- Vue Birmingham Star City
- Vue Bristol Cribbs Causeway
- Vue Dublin, Liffey Valley
- Vue Edinburgh Omni Centre
- Vue Manchester Printworks
- Vue Westfield, Shepherd's Bush
Johnny Carr, head of event cinema at Vue, said: "For over a decade, Amelia has entertained millions with her brilliantly awkward interviews and signature deadpan humour in Chicken Shop Date.
"What began as a fresh take on celebrity interviews has grown into a cultural phenomenon, building a passionate fanbase and creating countless must-watch moments.
"At Vue, we're always looking for opportunities to bring audiences together around the stories, personalities and cultural moments they care about most.
"As Amelia prepares for the final season of the show, we're delighted to be partnering with mk2 alt to celebrate its legacy on the big screen for the first time and give fans the chance to experience it together as a shared event."
Following a year of box office success for films from YouTube creators, including The Amazing Digital Circus, Obsession, Iron Lung and Backrooms, this is another example of how the cinema experience continues to evolve, bringing online communities and digital-first talent into cinemas in exciting new ways.
