    70: Aaron Urist, “This Yarmulke Feels Like Ted Nugent”

    This week’s story comes from Aaron Urist. Aaron is a standup comedian from Denver Colorado, the co-host of Crush City, a monthly comedy showcase at The Savoy, and he will be appearing at the High Plains Comedy Festival later this month. Being in his presence is like finding a $20 bill in your jacket on the first cold of autumn—again, and again, and again. Aaron’s story was recorded live on May 20, 2015 at Buntport Theater in Denver, Colorado. The theme of the evening was “Nature vs. Nurture.”

    Our next live event in Denver takes place at Buntport Theater on 19 August 2015 at 8:00pm. In honor of the High Plains Comedy Festival, we will be featuring stories exclusively by stand-up comedians. The theme of the evening will be “Crushed.” And mark your calendars—the debut of The Narrators San Diego is 8 September 2015 at Tiger!Tiger! Tavern.

    Special thanks to Erin Rollman for engineering help on this episode. Our theme music is by our friend Whalehawk (aka the Grammy-nominated musician Jake Sanders).

    20 May 2015: “Nature vs. Nurture”

    BUNTPORT, MAY 20 at 8:00PM:

    You’re living in a dystopian future without oil where everyone drives inefficient vehicles and plays propane-powered guitars. Your mother always made you wear green but purple was your thing. Sometimes you just want to sit in your underwear, licking the peanut butter lid. You’re teaching a Scandinavian boy named Oddvar how to be a grifter. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. We have an AMAZING lineup of storytellers tonight, talking about Nature vs. Nurture:

    Anna Seregina (Terrified Podcast, Bridgetown)
    Aaron Urist (Crush City)
    Jordan Wieleba (Something Fabulous)
    Anthony Crawford (Talkin’ Shop)
    Emma Weisfeld
    Katie Schluter
    MacKenzie Keller

    …and your host, Ron Doyle, wearing checkered chef pants and a look of general panic. We’ll have beer and wine available for donation (bring cash). See you there!
