Comedy Special: Inanc "Ino" Karacaylak

After 15 years of comedy, award-winning storyteller Inanc "Ino" Karacaylak is presenting a comedy special where he will discuss life, art, birds & whales. You may already know him as co-host of the monthly StorySlam Oakland show at the Sound Room.
Join us on Wednesday, October 9th, 2025 for a night of laughter and mayhem you won’t forget starring Inanc.
His unique style blends hilarious stories from his life, including his time as a foreign exchange student from Turkey navigating language barriers, anecdotes of his career as an ocean kitesurfing instructor, and his sharp take on the challenges of becoming a U.S. citizen as a “brown guy.” His quick wit and brilliant crowd work will keep you laughing from start to finish.
But that’s not all!

Inanc is also hosting a reception for his art. He is currently displaying his art work at The Sound Room and will do a live painting during the show.

This night is set to be an unforgettable mix of comedy, culture, and creativity.
Come support Inanc, be part of this epic moment. You won’t want to miss it!
Doors open at 6 PM. Come browse the art and chat with Inanc from 6-7. Comedy from 7:30-9. No ticket needed for art reception.
