We are a monthly curated storytelling night for folks that want to get vulnerable and take no shit. We are community focused, always looking to hear a story from someone else’s life, and excited to make new connections. It’s not a show JUST for misfits…but you know, it kind of helps? How often do you go out to events and feel lonely? Because this show is built just for you.
