Amelia Dimoldenberg Father: Who Is Paul Dimoldenberg?

Publish date: 2024-03-17

English journalist, comedian, YouTuber, and television host Amelia Dimoldenberg was born on January 30, 1994. She launched the web series Chicken Shop Date, in which she conducts interviews in fried chicken joints with Premier League football players, other YouTubers, grime artists, rappers, and other celebrities. She is renowned for her interviews’ awkward silences, deadpan humor, and sarcasm.

Dimoldenberg began writing Chicken Shop Date as a humorous column for the youth magazine The Cut, which was based at the Stowe Centre, a youth club on Harrow Road in London. It was other members’ interest in grime that led her to interview grime artists, as she “wanted to know more about the music”; she began by interviewing “friends of friends”. Dimoldenberg had the idea to frame the interviews as dates, and the location of a chicken shop was chosen as it was “somewhere you wouldn’t usually go on a date”. The first filmed episode, which featured a “date” with the grime MC Ghetts, was released in 2014.

Each episode is filmed for about 40 minutes, and the final product has a seven-episode maximum. With the caveat that “in the edit is where the character comes through, we clip and cut things, we make it more awkward,” Dimoldenberg defined her on-screen persona as “an exaggerated version of myself.”

Although Chicken Shop Date is “not as popular” as American interview formats like Hot Ones, Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis, and Carpool Karaoke, Jonah Engel Bromwich of The New York Times has called it “notable for the way in which it has grown through tapping into a specific subculture,” writing that ” apturing an audience of music enthusiasts has given the show credibility.”
