This story comes from one of our favorite storytellers, Joe Holland. Joe is a San Diego based writer who has a knack for capturing all of the pain and hilarity that is so often wrapped up in family life. This story was recorded live on 13 December 2016 at Tiger! Tiger! Tavern in San Diego. The theme of the evening was “Parents Just Don’t Understand.”

With February’s shows in the books, all eyes are on March. Next month’s theme will be “Popular” on 14 March in San Diego and 15 March in Denver. The Narrators will be celebrating its 7^th anniversary at Buntport Theater at 7pm instead of our usual 8pm, so make sure to arrive early to catch a full night of storytellers. We still have a few screen-printed posters from our friend and artist Michael King, but they’e going fast so pick one up at either live show next month. They’ll set you back 15 bucks if you pay cash, 20 if you use Venmo or a credit card.

Today’s story comes to you from San Diego writer Joe Holland, recorded live on 8 March 2016 at Tiger!Tiger! Tavern in San Diego, California; the theme of the evening was “Ouch.”

Thanks to everyone who came out to our 6th anniversary show at Buntport Theater in Denver this month. We are incredibly grateful for the support of our storytellers and our audience, both of which surprise us every month by the depth of their humanity, their humor and strength. We look forward to spending six more years with you.

A special thanks also to the good folks who came out to our new monthly show in collaboration with Finest City Improv in San Diego. Moment of Truth made its debut on March 18th and we had a blast working with the audience to develop themes that volunteers would choose at random and improvise a five-minute true story around. It was exhilarating!

Our regular April shows will be turning to the theme of “All is Fair…” and we have a few special collaborations coming down the pipe, so keep an eye out for details.

Happy New Year! This week’s story is told by Joe Holland, a San Diego-based writer. He deftly captures the complicated nature of family in this story based on the theme “Siblings.”

We are looking forward to 2016 and a new year of storytelling. We’ll kick it off in San Diego on Tuesday, 12 January, and in Denver on Wednesday, 20 January, with the theme “Promise.” We have posted all of our themes for the upcoming year, which you can find on our Events page. Take a look and get in touch if you’d like to join the roster of storytellers this year.
