Join us at 7pm on November 7th for an evening where the stories are true, the stakes are low, and the audience is rooting for you. Whether it’s about your worst roommate, your strangest date, or the time you accidentally joined a cult (hey, it happens), this is your chance to take the mic and share.
November 7th is your night to claim your 7.5 minutes of glory, infamy, or catharsis. First-timers, old pros, and impulsive sign-ups are all welcome. No judges, no scoring, no pressure...just stories, laughter, connection, and the occasional gasp of horror.
Stories start promptly at 7:00 PM
True stories only, please.
And West Town Bakery Evanston has got coffee, delicious bites, and boozy sips, and oh we’re also connected to Okay Dispensary, because why not make it a full vibe? The West Town Bakery crew is made up of the kindest community-builders in Rogers Park, and we’re so grateful to have a cozy home with them again.
Same sweet rules:
7.5-minute stories
ALL names pulled from the bucket
We’ll get in as many tellers as we can ‘til 8:30pm
We can’t wait to feel the warmth, share space, and hear what you’ve been holding onto. See you there, storytellers.
Free event, always
