EFGO SEASON 7: Come Tell Your Family Story!
Every Family’s Got One is a live show and podcast that’s all about telling the most amazing family stories.
Everyone has stories about their family.
And we’re passionate about discovering the most revealing, inspiring, surprising, and hilarious ones out there.
It’s because the stories we share about family are powerful. They make us laugh, cry; offer up comfort, healing. And they deeply connect us.
So, what’s a truthful experience that you had in your family?
Did you uncover the family secret?
Discover why your best friend ghosted you?
Ready to share about the worst family dinner you ever had? Or the best? Or something else entirely?
We want to hear it.
Here’s how to tell us your family story for our upcoming live show and/or podcast:
Send your 5–7-minute story – audio, video, or written piece – to Barbara at [email protected].
Live EFGO show in NYC this fall! Date: TBD!
Please let us know if you’re submitting for the live show or podcast – or to be considered for both.
Whether it’s for our live show or pod, each one of our amazing family stories are from storytellers selected and coached by the EFGO team, Barbara & Tony.
Every Family’s Got One is also about building a supportive community of diverse voices and experiences.

Here’s what our EFGO community has to say about us:
I’ve both been a reader and in the audience for the yearly live storytelling show, Every Family’s Got One. It’s always a joyous occasion, hearing stories both hilarious and heartbreaking about the one subject we all know intimately but are sometimes reluctant to speak about: our own families. ~ Neil Kramer, photographer

Pulling my story from the wreckage of a lifetime of denial and shame was one of the most life altering experiences ever. Barbara and Tony skillfully provided a platform upon which I was able to reconnect to what was important all while gently coaxing the unsaid into the light. The story telling event itself was an achievement and a delight I will cherish all my days. ~ Chester Mitchell Jackson, Adoptive and Foster Family Coalition of New York
********
I had the honor of telling my story with EFGO at the Southhampton Cultural Center in 2022. Little did I know at the time that I would become part of another family. An extended family of amazing storytellers with whom I shared the stage that evening, and also Barbara Herel and Tony Mennuto, two of the kindest, funniest and most accessible artists in the universe. EFGO is a family which is a pleasure to be a part of. ~ Angela Derecas Taylor, co-founder, Key to the Castle Workshop

“Every Family’s Got One is a great opportunity to develop your storytelling and writing in a supportive, hilarious group.” ~ Lance Werth, HBO Max exec

“Barbara, thanks for your kind, generous and thoughtful collaboration. You helped make my story a lot better! I love being part of the EFGO community and you are tremendously appreciated. ~ Emerson Dameron, copywriter

“Rarely is there an opportunity in which a writer can read their work in a supportive environment and receive a brilliant compassionate critique which moves their writing to the next level. That’s what EFGO offers; a place to showcase our writing, hear knowledgeable, invaluable feedback, take those lessons with us, and work on our future bestsellers.” ~ Lisa Leshaw, book author
