Today’s story comes from one of The Narrators’ favorite storytellers, Taylor Gonda. Taylor is a podcast host, DJ, Denver icon and, sadly for all of us in Colorado, a soon-to-be resident of Los Angeles. California, please take care of our good friend. Taylor’s story of awkward infatuation was recorded live on 17 May 2017 at Buntport Theater in Denver, Colorado. The theme of the evening was “Fashion Victim.”

Many thanks to everyone who came out to our special refugee show in Denver Refugee this past Wednesday. The house was packed and we were able to raise over $1,000 in donations that went directly to the storytellers. The overwhelming support and empathy that circulated between the crowd and storytellers made for a truly special night that got right to the heart of what The Narrators is all about. Thank you. If you weren’t able to make it, be sure to keep an ear out for some of those stories on future podcasts.

Our next regular monthly shows will take place Tuesday, 13 June at Tiger! Tiger! Tavern in San Diego and Wednesday, 21 June at Buntport Theater in Denver. The theme will be “Road Trip.”

Today’s story was too absurd to be told by just one storyteller, so Hannah Duggan and Denver co-host Erin Rollman broke their story into two parts— chronicling their run-in with a cat-stealing witch and a novelty showerhead in Winnipeg, Canada. Hannah and Erin are founding members of Buntport Theater, the home of our Denver show, and two of our favorite people on the planet. This story was recorded live on 19 April 2017 at Buntport Theater in Denver, Colorado. The theme of the evening was “Jinx.”

Last month we hosted a special benefit show for Denver Zine Fest, an annual celebration of independent zine makers taking place this June, put on by our pals at the Denver Zine Library, one of the world’s largest collections of zines in North America. The audience got an introduction to the world of zines, made their own blank mini-zine at the beginning of the show, and then doodled away while local zinesters shared stories. At the end, members of the audience took the stage to share their tiny creations—and they were incredible. If we learned one thing, it’s that people really love their dogs.

This week’s episode features one of the stories from that night, a story from the founder of the Denver Zine Library and one of our all-time favorite storytellers, Kelly Shortandqueer. Kelly’s story was recorded live on 11 April 2017 at Buntport Theater in Denver, Colorado; the theme of the evening was “Firsts.”

Our May shows coming up fast—join us on 9 May in San Diego and 17 May in Denver to hear stories on the theme “Fashion Victim.” As always, check here on our website or our Facebook page for more information.
