Amelia Dimoldenberg Net Worth: How much is Amelia Chicken Shop worth?

Publish date: 2024-10-04

Amelia Dimoldenberg (born 30 January 1994) is an English journalist, comedian, YouTuber, and television presenter. She created the web series Chicken Shop Date, in which she interviews rappers, grime artists, other YouTubers, and Premier League footballers in fried chicken restaurants. She is known for her use of sarcasm, deadpan humor, and awkward silence in her interviews.

Dimoldenberg grew up in Marylebone, Westminster, and went to St Marylebone School. Her father is Paul Dimoldenberg, a Labour Party councilor in Westminster. She completed A-levels in English, art, politics, and information technology before graduating from Central Saint Martins in London with a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design and a BA in Fashion Communication. “I was always on the outskirts of the ultra-fashionable scene and left the party-going to those who had the stamina, and the invite,” she writes of her university days.

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