    116: Meghan DePonceau, “Pleasure Coma”

    Today’s story comes from Meghan DePonceau. Meghan is a Denver comedian and the chief of 5280Comedy.com, a top resource for all things comedy in Denver. This story was recorded live on 18 January 2017 at Buntport Theater in Denver, Colorado. The theme of the evening was “Dropping the Ball.”

    Thanks so much to everyone who came to our shows this month, especially those of you who piled in for the anniversary show in Denver. We had a full audience of folks that overflowed onto the floor and into the lobby to hear a super-sized lineup with some of our favorite storytellers. It was a real treat to mark our 7th year with all of you, so thanks again. Here’s to another seven years.

    In addition to our regular monthly shows, we are hosting a special edition of The Narrators at DINK, the Denver Independent Comic Expo at 5pm on Saturday, 8 April at the Historic McNichols Building in Civic Center Park. The show is free with admission to the expo. We’re also hosting a fundraiser for Denver Zine Fest, in collaboration with our good friends at the Denver Zine Library, on Tuesday, 11 April at Buntport Theater. Come hear stories from local zinesters, make your very own mini zine, and get a chance to share your zine in front of the audience. Keep your eyeballs duct-taped to our Facebook page or website for more details.

    In addition to those special events, our next regular monthly shows will be on 11 April in San Diego and 19 April in Denver. The theme will be “Jinx.” See you there!

    Also: We still have a few screenprint posters left, so please stop by one of our live shows to get one of your own. And, if you’re a fan of this podcast but live outside of Denver or San Diego, please email us if you’d like to buy a poster too—we’ll find a way to get it to you.

    On top of old Buntport,
    all covered with cheese,
    we’re stoked for the new year—Twenty Seventeen.

    Our lineup is crazy, better than great
    The seats will be packed, dear
    So don’t show up late.

    The theme of the month is
    “Dropping the Ball,”
    Here is the lineup, come one and come all:

    Meghan DePonceau
    Keith Garcia
    Miriam Moreno
    Sarah Pessin

    …and your host, Ron Doyle, talking about castration and other fun subjects.

    Other big news:

    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.

    We’d also like to welcome Renegade Brewing Company to The Narrators family. We’re excited to have a new local beer sponsor in the neighborhood, so please stop by their taproom for a pint before or after the show and let them know we appreciate the support.

    The show is as free as a gratuitous fumble during the playoffs. Swanky Renegade beer and not-swanky wine available by donation.

    See you there!
