Naseem Hrab opened the April show with one of our most powerful stories yet. Just wonderful and so moving.
Next show is Tuesday Sept 22nd, 2015.
Next show – June 30th – last one of the Summer!
10 Jun
We (and by “we” I mean I) will be taking a break for the Summer. So this is the last show until September!
Facebook event HERE if you’re on FB: https://www.facebook.com/events/1444708889164322/
The last show until September! So, possibly the last chance to spend a balmy evening listening to cosy, moving, funny, thoughtful, prepared and really well told stories.

Storytellers for this month:
Jen Cook
Coco Zimmerman

Waleed Kattan
Elliot Allen
Hosted by me, Marsha from YesYesMarsha.com
It’s a really lovely night, friendly and warm. There is a 20 minute interval, but quite a few people come on their own with a book or something, so if you fancy doing that, you won’t be the only one.
If you want to come early and grab some food, The Lakeview diner (est 1932) is a few steps away, with the best shakes (I love banana-vanilla) and sweet potato fries in Toronto. Also, The Garrison has tacos. TACOS.
Free entry. You’ll need to get there early to get a good seat (latecomers have to stand at the back).

See you there!

7 MayQuick reminder that our next show is Tuesday June 30th at The Garrison.
Today’s videos are two stories that I re-tell all the time to friends who couldn’t make the show.
First up, comedian Rick Jones tells my favourite Customs story OF ALL TIME:
You can find out about Rick’s upcoming shows, hire him to MC, do stand up, and/or write your best man’s speech, and more at www.rickjonescomedy.com
Secondly, Wayne Hendry tells us the perils of trying to transport a cat on a several hours-long plane journey (hint: choose your pants carefully).
Our next show is Tues June 30th at the Garrison. If you want details sent to you in advance – and a short reminder on the day of the show (or the day before), then sign up to our (very infrequent) email list here: yym.ca/tstlto1
See you then!

21 AprWhen this story was told, it led to one of my favourite moments in the HISTORY of True Stories Told Live. In fact, I was so moved that I wrote an entire blog about it – in which I also detail the story-coaching process. You can read it, here: Why You Should Ask Strangers Personal Questions You can watch the video of his (incredible) story on the page that links to, or here:

Anna Willats has been invited to tell a story by special request due to her involvement with Groundswell Community Justice Trust Fund. We’ll have a collection for Groundswell after her story. Because charities are important – but wouldn’t it be better if we didn’t need them in the first place?
