We are looking for storytellers to tell their amazing family stories on stage in our live show, on our podcast, or in a blog post. 

Stories that are hilarious. Or tragic. Or awe-inspiring. Yes, THAT family story. 

Our requirements are simple – Your story must be true. Your story must be a tale only you can tell, specific to your family. And, you can tell it in 5-10 minutes.  

There’s nothing more entertaining and enlightening than telling THAT family story.

You’ve got the family you grew up in, your immediate family, extended family, work family, and friends who are family. You have family who you’re close to and family who you’re not. You could have birth family and an adoptive family, and a foster family, too. You could be trying to have a family. Or decided not to have a family. Family, in some form, is all around us. It’s however you define “family.”
