This one’s a little special.WILDCARD is back at Old Soul The Alley for our final night in this space, and it just happens to land the night before our big Nutshell show.
So we’re leaning in:
👉 Think of this as the pre-party.
🎤 What is WILDCARD?
WILDCARD is our monthly live storytelling open mic where anyone can step up and tell a true, personal story.
🎤 10 storytellers drawn at random from the NOT HAT
⏱️ 8-minute stories
⭐ Featured storytellers
🧡 A room full of people actually listening
It’s a little looser than Nutshell. A little more chaotic. And always magical.
⭐ Featuring!
🎥Jessica Robinson: (Yes, that Jessica. She’ll also be on the Nutshell stage the next night 👀)
🐺Alex Paez: A Sacramento favorite! Sharp, funny, heartfelt, and always worth showing up for.
🔥 Two Nights, One Story World
If you’re coming to Nutshell on April 17, here’s the move:
👉 Buy your Nutshell ticket first
👉 Screenshot it and show tix guy Aaron [email protected]
👉 Go to WILDCARD tickets
👉 Select “I bought a Nutshell ticket!”
👉 Our Tix Guy Aaron will approve you
🎟️ That means you get into WILDCARD for free
(usually $15)
💡 Why come to both?
WILDCARD is where stories are tried, stretched and risked.
Nutshell is where everything comes together.
Come to WILDCARD and you might see someone tell their first story or end up in the NOT HAT yourself
Then come back Friday and see a fully crafted night at The Sofia.
It’s a very good combo.
📍 The Details

This is one of our last nights at Old Soul before we move to our new home at Teneral in May.
If you’ve been meaning to come—or come back—this is a really good one.
Put your name in the NOT HAT.
Or come cheer for the people who do.
Either way, you belong here.
