Biography

Amelia Dimoldenberg is an English comedian, writer and presenter. She is the creator and host of the web series Chicken Shop Date, in which she interviews celebrities in fried chicken restaurants while subjecting them to her sarcastic, deadpan, and awkward sense of humour.

In 2025, Dimoldenberg was named in Time magazine’s inaugural “TIME100 Creators” list - branded by the publication as the 100 most influential digital voices.

Career

Chicken Shop Date

Chicken Shop Date began as a column written by Dimoldenberg for the youth magazine The Cut, which was based at the Stowe Centre youth club on the Harrow Road. It was other members' interest in grime music that led her to interview grime artists, as she wanted to know more about the music, and 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 was released in March 2014, featuring a "date" with grime MC Ghetts.

Each episode takes around 40 minutes to film, with the finished episode being edited down to around ten minutes.Dimoldenberg has described her persona in the show as "an exaggerated version" of herself, adding that "in the edit is where the character comes through, we chop and cut things, we make it more awkward". While noting that Chicken Shop Date is "not as popular" as American interview formats like Hot Ones, Between Two Ferns, and Carpool Karaoke, Jonah Engel Bromwich of The New York Times has described it as "notable for the way in which it has grown through tapping into a specific subculture" and that "capturing an audience of music enthusiasts has given the show credibility".

Dimoldenberg is known for surprising her chicken shop guests by posing preposterous questions about aspects of their image, art, or public perception. For example, Dimoldenberg asked Phoebe Bridgers, a singer who wore a skeleton onesie for the duration of a 2-year tour, if she thinks "dressing as a skeleton is promoting an unhealthy body image?"

Television

In early 2018, Dimoldenberg presented the Channel 4 documentary Meet the Markles, in which she travelled to the United States to meet members of Meghan Markle's family. The Telegraph called it "an entertaining ride slicked by moments of real hilarity" and the Evening Standard described it as an "instant hit". Later that year, she appeared in an episode of The Big Narstie Show. In October, she appeared as a "roving reporter" in the first series of the ITV2 hip hop-themed comedy show Don't Hate the Playaz. The series was nominated for a Royal Television Society Award. Dimoldenberg did not appear in the second series.

In 2020, Dimoldenberg appeared on Channel 4's Celebrity Come Dine with Me with Marcel Somerville, Dave Benson Phillips, Anthea Turner, and AJ Odudu.

In December 2021, it was announced that Dimoldenberg would host a web shorts series titled Celebrity Rebrand for Channel 4. The first season, consisting of six episodes, was released via the network's social media channels. The comedy show features Dimoldenberg as a "celebrity brand visionary" attempting to assist various Channel 4 stars in rebranding their image.

In January 2023, she appeared on a "New Year's Treat" episode of Taskmaster alongside Self Esteem, Mo Farah, Greg James, and Carol Vorderman. In 2025, she participated in series 8 of The Great Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off.

Other ventures

In the ten years since launching Chicken Shop Date, Dimoldenberg has worked to broaden her comedic repertoire. In 2025, it was reported that most of her income came from sources other than the show. She has reported on several red carpets, starting with the MOBO Awards in 2017, followed by the Brit Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and the premiere of the film Barbie (2023). She writes hundreds of questions before each event to ensure she is prepared. She established a production company in 2018 called Dimz Inc, which houses shows like Chicken Shop Date, Amelia's Cooking Show, and Fake News. Dimoldenberg plans to launch Dimz Inc Academy alongside an in-person exhibition for visitors to "be inspired and create their own ideas", inspired by Chicken Shop Date's youth club origins.

In 2022, Dimoldenberg became a brand ambassador for Olay. She is also an ambassador for Bumble and Levi's. On 29 January 2024, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Dimoldenberg as their red carpet correspondent for the 96th Academy Awards, a role she continued in 2025.
