$12 ADV/$15.00 DR. Presented by novelist, poet, songwriter, risk taker and storyteller: David Bulley. ADULTS ONLY!
Storypalooza 2! Adults Only
A night of raucous, raunchy, hilarious, poignant, heartfelt stories by some of the best storytellers on the east coast. Hosted by Dan Foley, a Boston area juggler, comedienne, performer extraordinaire and performed by four amazing storytellers, this will be a night you pee yourself laughing, but one you will think about in quiet moments for months afterward. Most storytelling concerts and contests have themes. The theme for this evening is “Adults only” which certainly means don't bring the kids! But also means wear your thickest skin. But don’t worry. It will be dark enough so they won't see you blush.
