    113: Joe Holland, “Independicitis”

    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 7th 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.

    Next Wednesday: “Red-Handed”

    San Diego at Tiger!Tiger! Tavern:

    Denver at Buntport Theater:

    …with hosts Mary Robertson and Erin Rollman stealing your hearts. Both shows start at 8pm and are as free as that third cheese sample you nabbed off the tray when the Costco employee wasn’t looking.

    Don’t forget:

    We will have limited edition 18×24 screenprint posters, signed and numbered by the artist, available for sale—$15 cash, $20 by credit card. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

    See you there!

    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.
