EVENTS & PROGRAMMING

WE do the planning. You just show up.

Nothing beats hanging out in person.

We host 5-8 fun social gatherings and thought-provoking programming per month, all designed to help you build friendships and level up your social life.

At PARALLEL, we facilitate introductions, spark meaningful conversations, and design our gatherings with connection in mind. That means you don’t have to stress about showing up solo.

All IRL events are hosted in Los Angeles (for now). Expansion into other cities coming soon.

FIND YOUR FIVE DINNER SERIES

An intimate, curated experience where 5–6 guests gather at LA’s best restaurants for a connection experience guided by a “conversation menu” that goes beyond small talk—this is where the connection magic really happens.

Inspired by Jim Rohn’s idea that “you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with,” this special series is designed to help you intentionally expand your social circle, one meaningful conversation at a time.

PARALLEL’s SIGNATURE stand-up comedy SHOW

As one of our signature events, PARALLEL hosts a private comedy show featuring top LA comics, diving into the ups, downs, and humor, of life without “the one” or kids. Whether you're single, coupled, kid-free, or figuring it out—come laugh, connect, and vibe with familiar faces (not randoms). Each show kicks off with a social hour to mix and mingle.

While most events are members-only, this show is always open to friends and guests. Get on our email list to be notified of future shows.

Social experiences & PROGRAMMING

Level up your social life with new experiences, stay active and keep growing + learning. From hikes, pickleball and stand-up paddle boarding, to beach parties, poker workshops and yoga/wellness experiences, PARALLEL keeps your calendar full of fun, meaningful experiences.

Want to host a book club or find a buddy for a Dodger game? Our member app makes member-initiated, member-led events easy.

We also go beyond social — offering programming with guest speakers: expert talks and fireside chats on topics that matter to your kid-free, mid-life journey.
