Welcome to Best Before Date! 

Dating is weird let alone during a pandemic. When things were starting to look rough in Canada, starting comedian, AL DEE found refuge on a small island in the heart of Asia - Taiwan. For months, there was no sign of the pandemic and life was good. These episodes give an insight into modern dating life (tinder/bumble and the like) as he sits down with first-time dates and friends often getting sidetracked. These are fun, though sometimes quite awkward!
