The other answers should work but just to include this try looking for:

bool exists = false;
var event = db.Events.Where(p => p.StartDate == startdate);
if (event != null){
    exists = true;
}

this way not only do you know if it's true but you have a place to hold it and see it later

you can actually return it in the Json if you'd like

Why wouldn't you just use the following?

db.Events.Any(p => p.StartDate == startdate);

It can be used with or without .ToList().

I do not understand what you are trying to achieve, but for date time comparisons, it is wiser to use Datetime.Compare(date1, date2) method.

like:

bool isValid = DateTime.Compare(p.StartDate, startDate) == 0;
