We can’t let slip the details quite yet, but our next show will be Jan. 27, in a spectacular location, with an amazing partner, on a subject that’s near and dear to our hearts.

Stay tuned, friends.

Your Duty Calls Storytellers

This November show is shaping up to be a pretty special one, with storytellers of all stripes and a very memorable musical guest. Plus, we’ll be at the totally beautiful Commercial Drive legion hall, so if you don’t have your pair yet, pick ‘em up here now! There are about 80 left. See you there!

Duty Bound? Come For a Fiver

As our Nov. 3 show at the Grandview Legion Hall approaches, we want to recognize and appreciate all of Vancouver’s veteran and currently serving police officers, firemen, paramedics, and soldiers. If this is you, we’d love to let you in at the door for $5. Just pre-register online here, and then show a badge or photo ID at the door. It’s that easy!

We picked our venue, the Grandview Woodland Legion Hall, and the theme, partially to reflect upon the duties that bind us to our communities, to our country, and to each other. In advance of Remembrance Day, as you don your poppy, come out and share your own story about what duty means to you in this modern age.
