Episode 183: We went digging deep into the archives for this week’s 420-friendly story about teenage shenanigans and strange encounters on a cruise ship. Show favorite Chris Charpentier originally told this story six years ago, on 16 May 2013, at the Deer Pile (R.I.P.) in Denver, Colorado; the theme of the show was “Fake.”

Chris Charpentier is a Los Angeles-based comedian and actor who has performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Viceland’s Flophouse, and more. He’s the host of the podcast Sports Bullies: The Game; the star of the web series Brotherly; and a recurring character on the television show Those Who Can’t.

Our next live show will take place on 12 May at Buntport Theater. The theme will be “Alter Egos.” The show is free, but limited seats are available for reservation.

Special thanks to TIQ TOK, who provided the outro music for this episode.

Episode 13 of The Narrators Podcast features stories from playwright Ellen K. Graham and comedian Chris Charpentier. The stories were recorded on January 17, 2013 at our beloved Deer Pile in Denver, Colorado.  The theme for the night was “Adults Only,” but it was thankfully not as raunchy as you might expect.  It’s still a good idea to shield your nana’s ears if you play this while having an afternoon tea.  Check out the buttons at the top of the page here to see all the different ways of subscribing to the podcast.  You can find it on iTunes, on Stitcher, or through  myriad RSS feeds.
