Our last show was 10/17/23

This month, we’re talking about those times in life where you just have to keep on keeping on. We’ll be spending October celebrating stories of triumph over life’s challenges, both big and small, with the theme “Against the Odds: Stories of Perseverance & Triumph.” Our line-up of superstar storytellers will come together to share tales of hardships overcome and battles won, proving that what doesn’t kill you really does make your stronger…whether that’s something huge like speaking your truth or a simpler, but still important frustration—like finding a bra that doesn’t suck. Join us Tuesday, October 17 at 7PM at Joe’s Pub in NYC for an evening of intergenerational community and wisdom that will leave you feeling empowered and inspired to take on life’s next hurdle! Tickets are on-sale now for the live show in NYC and for the livestream, accessible for viewers around the globe.
