EVERY SECOND TUESDAY OF THE MONTH - FREE
People sharing stories with other people. No experience necessary and never a cover charge. Simply show up, sign up, and share.
Do Not Submit is a series of free open mics around Chicagoland where people from all walks of life and backgrounds can come together each month to connect through the sharing of stories in an enthusiastic, supportive environment free from pressure, judgment, or scoring.
The venue opens at 4:00. Sign up list begins at 7:15.
Hosted by Shawn Cobb and Cyrus Irani.
Participants will have seven minutes to tell/read/interpretively dance their personal stories/folk tales/persuasive essay on proper flossing.
Listeners welcome. We will get as many tellers in as possible. ​If you arrive late, there still may be a chance to share.
Dining and drinks available all evening. Metered parking on Lincoln.
