About this Event
THE WRITER'S ROOM PRESENTS UNFILTERED STORYTIME
An Inaugural LIVE Comedy Experience & Official Podcast Launch
One Night. Real Comedy. Incredible Talent. Unfiltered Conversations. The Beginning of Something BIG!
Welcome to Unfiltered Storytime Comedy Show, an original LIVE comedy experience created, curated, and produced by Brandon Scates, Comedy Curator, Creative Visionary, and Emerging Producer, presented under The Writer's Room.
On Saturday, November 21, 2026, Brandon celebrates his 38th birthday while marking a defining milestone in his creative journey: his transition from stand-up comedian to Writer, Showrunner, Comedy Producer, and Promoter.
What began as a passion for comedy and storytelling is evolving into a larger vision centered on creating original entertainment, developing platforms for comedic talent, and building meaningful opportunities within Chicago's comedy community.
The inaugural Unfiltered Storytime Comedy Show brings that vision to life through an evening of live performances, authentic storytelling, creative collaboration, and the official launch of The Writer's Room Podcast.
This isn't just a birthday celebration.
It's the beginning of a new creative chapter.

Chicago has an incredible comedy culture, and Unfiltered Storytime is bringing some of its rising talent together for one unforgettable night!

WHERE IDEAS TURN INTO LEGACY! ✍🏾🎙️
👑 A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. A CREATIVE TRANSITION. A NEW BEGINNING.
For Brandon Skates, this evening represents more than another year of life.
After developing his comedic voice through stand-up performance and becoming involved in Chicago's comedy community, Brandon is embracing a new role behind the scenes as a creative architect of original entertainment experiences.
Through The Writer's Room, his focus is expanding toward writing, showrunning, talent curation, comedy production, event promotion, and the development of creative platforms that bring performers and audiences together.
Unfiltered Storytime Comedy Show is the first LIVE expression of that evolving vision.
By combining a curated stand-up comedy show with an original LIVE podcast experience, Brandon is introducing an entertainment concept that extends beyond the traditional comedy show format.
This inaugural production establishes the foundation for Unfiltered Storytime LIVE and the continued development of The Writer's Room as a creative entertainment platform.
It's about celebrating talent, encouraging collaboration, building community, and creating opportunities for original voices to be heard.
This is more than a performance. It's the introduction of a new creative era.
