Romantically Challenged

Max and his drag queen co-host on stage while a woman in the audience cheers

The Project

For seven years, Romantically Challenged was Birmingham’s most enchanting and rambunctious dating game show. In an era where apps dominated the dating landscape, the event provided a welcome respite from swiping fatigue.

Hundreds of people applied each year to be contestants, and the ones selected to be on the show answered a variety of questions and performed a host of silly challenges to win the hearts of featured bachelors and bachelorettes. Along with Max, the event was co-hosted by two of Birmingham’s favorite drag queens, Sharon Cocx and Reese Eve Cocx.

Over the years, proceeds from the event benefited a number of organizations, including Equality Alabama and the Crisis Center.
