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.

The Narrators San Diego debuted just three days ago and we’re over the moon happy for what’s happening there, what it means for this show and this podcast. We’ve been listening to the raw audio of the stories that were told at that first show and dude, it’s so good. Denver, we’re not living in a vacuum anymore—we have competition on the coast.
Today’s story comes from Robert Rutherford. When Robert’s not co-hosting The Narrators San Diego, he works as a museum educator and the digital content developer at the San Diego Natural History Museum. Robert’s story was recorded live on 8 September 2015 at Tiger!Tiger! Tavern in San Diego, California. The theme of the evening was “Firsts.” Our theme music is by our friend Whalehawk (aka the Grammy-nominated musician Jake Sanders).
We have an exciting announcement to share with you!
We have found a Southern California home for The Narrators. Starting September 8, The Narrators San Diego will take place the 2nd Tuesday of each month at Tiger!Tiger! Tavern on beautiful El Cajon Boulevard at 8pm. As always, The Narrators is a free event.
If you are reading this and thinking to yourself “WTF is a The Narrators?”, please take a moment to click around up that top header, specifically the ABOUT page, which will fill you in on what exactly it is that we do, and then maybe wander on over to the Home page and fill your ears with the sweet sounds of storytelling (maybe even subscribe to the podcast!). Then, if you have stamina and a clear heart, make a dash for the FAQ page and find out how you can get involved. Then pat yourself on the back and pour a glass of chocolate milk to celebrate, because you will have become an expert on The Narrators.
But I digress. We are honored to be working with the good people at Tiger!Tiger!, who also operate the Blind Lady Ale House in Normal Heights and Panama 66 at the San Diego Art Museum in Balboa Park. Aside from their fantastic craft beers and delicious food, these establishments serve as important community centers hosting local music, films, game nights, poetry readings, and now storytelling.
If you live in San Diego and would like to be part of the Narrators, please join us the 2nd Tuesday of every month at Tiger!Tiger! starting this September. If you don’t live in San Diego, please spread the word to your SoCal friends and family.
Most importantly, we’re looking for storytellers! We’re looking for people to tell 5-10 minute true stories based on a changing monthly theme. September’s theme is “Firsts”. You do not need to be a professional writer or performer to participate. We love writers, actors, comedians, musicians and other people who identify as artists, but we especially encourage those of you who do not normally do this kind of thing to get involved.
The Narrators is committed to representing multiple voices and experiences and creating a safer space for all of us to be ourselves. We very much want to hear from people of color, queer people, people living with disabilities, immigrants to the U.S., military veterans, the very old and the very young—you get the idea. You can get in touch through our website, on our Facebook page, or email robert@thenarrators.org.
