Dating, DMs & Lie Detectors ft. Zach Margs

[additional-authors]
September 10, 2026

This week on Schmuckboys, Marla and Libby give some brief life updates and then are joined by British Jewish comedian and content creator Zach Margs! Zach shares a relationship update and tells us about his new live dating show, Truth or Date, where singles date blindfolded before facing a lie detector test.

We get into dating as a public figure, sliding into DMs, and whether being an online comedian helps or hurts your dating life. Zach also shares why dating and eventually marrying Jewish is important to him, plus his thoughts on the Jewish dating scenes in Tel Aviv, New York, and London.

Zach breaks down some of the easiest ways to make a good impression on a date — be on time, make the reservation, ask questions, put your phone away, and most importantly, be a mensch. We also debate drinks vs. dinner, who should plan the date, and some major dating red flags.

We talk about long-distance relationships, the pressure to find “your person,” and how Zach balances dating with a growing comedy career. He also shares how one viral Tel Aviv waiter video helped launch his full-time comedy career.

Finally, we put Zach through the Schmuckboys hot seat and answer the most important question of all: what exactly makes someone a Schmuckboy?
