Note To Self: Get back to Story Slams at Letage before Kevin Lee moves

A year and half ago during a distinctly cold Philly night, you know the kind when your malt liquer freezes in it’s paper bag, I experienced one of the greatest nights of live entertainment/theatre ever (which really isn’t saying much when you consider my favorite play is West Side Story; the movie). First Person Story Slam is simply a night of very funny people sharing their ‘true’ stories with complete strangers. Like improve, the unrehearsed nature of Story Slam can be both a blessing and a curse. Some stories are painfully bad, but anything is worth enduring for the true gems (like the one above) that surface at every event.

If you ever go to the story Slam at Letage, I hope you have the good fortune of witnessing a Story Slam legend Kevin Lee in action. He’ll be there for sure but get their soon, rumor has it he’s thinking about moving to Boston. To Boston? WTF Kev? Do people line up to hear your awkward pauses and painfully embarassing stories in Boston?

Story Slam takes place every 4th Thursday of the month at my favorite club, Letage, 7:30pm sharp.

Upcoming Story Slam themes:

July 22nd: Caught
August 26th: Worst Ever
September 23rd: Belonging
October 28th: Strange Coincidenc
