A Sunday Afternoon of Unbelievable True Stories
About this Event

Trade your typical Sunday nap for a shot of adrenaline at 'You Say What!', the storytelling show where the truth is weirder than fiction. Join host Miyo and a curated lineup of five incredible storytellers as they share raw, hilarious, and jaw-dropping tales that will leave you speechless. Grab a seat at the Fanatic Salon Theater on May 17th at 2:00 PM for an afternoon of stories so wild, you'll have to hear them to believe them!



Meet Your Storytellers
  • Miyo (Host): Our fearless host who curates the chaos and keeps the "No way!" moments coming.
  • Cara Lopez Lee: A Moth StorySLAM champion and author who promises her memoir They Only Eat Their Husbands is definitely not a guide to cannibalism.
  • Jen Curcio: A Philadelphia-bred storyteller and comedian whose love for the stage is rivaled only by her devotion to her dog and her questionable obsession with Gritty.
  • Joseph Adams: The Los Angeles comedian who lost his sight only to find a sharper perspective—proving that when God takes your vision, He leaves you with a hell of a lot of 'funny.
  • Julia Lechner: A Moth GrandSLAM champion and RISK! podcast veteran who has mastered the art of oversharing on everything from local LA stages to national PBS broadcasts.
  • Kelly Spillman: A true glass-ceiling shatterer who paved the way as North Florida’s first female Pizza Hut driver and currently flexes the ultimate status symbol: a Costco Executive Membership.

Don't wait until the doors are open—our seats fill up fast! Grab your tickets now and join us for the Sunday afternoon event everyone will be talking about on Monday morning.
