Meet NYC’s real-life ‘Hitch’: $12K course includes ‘wingman weekends,’ improv class with Tina Fey’s coach

While on the hunt for love in the concrete jungle, wannabe Romeos rarely have the perfect pickup tools in their arsenals. 

Sometimes, they just have to improvise. 

Even if that means walking up to a complete stranger at a bar and pretending to be a cat. 

“I recently had my client Alex walk up to a woman at a lounge and begin meowing,” NYC dating coach Connell Barrett, 52, told The Post. “The woman’s face lit up, she laughed — she probably thought it was weird, but a good kind of weird.”

“Alex was having fun,” added Barrett, founder of soulmate-matching service, Dating Transformation. “Being playful through improv is the secret weapon to becoming a better dater.”

And in a “cutthroat” city ranked as one of the worst for finding a happily ever after, solo Gothamites might be wise to heed his theatrical advice.
