Bar Stories Live On Stage

04/23/2026

FREE storytelling event tonight at Jules Mae's Saloon at 7pm. Beyond respect for your fellow humans and a flexible time of 5 to 6 mins, there are no rules! Try out a tale you've wanted to tell or wait to be inspired by other stories. We never know what we're going to hear. And that's how we like it.

Thanks, as always, to Jules Mae's Saloon for providing the space and support. This show is free because local businesses like Jules Mae's believe it's important to keep this kind of art accessible to everyone.

Are you a Veteran? Come from a military family? Have supported or worked with Veterans? Do you have stories to share? You should come check out Bar Stories’ Legacy Project; Veterans. Tomorrow, April 8th in Tukwila. The format is the same, the mission is a little different. Bring your stories, your anecdotes, your capers. As long as it’s true and about you, we want to hear it. And if you just want to listen, that’s cool, too.

Thank you King County Veterans Program for hosting.

FREE storytelling show TONIGHT, Match 9th at Ravenna Brewing. Doors at 6:30, show starts at 7pm. If you have ever wanted to give storytelling a try, this is a great place to start. We don't expect perfection. In fact, this mic is meant to be a place for stories to take shape, to find their meaning. If it's true and about you, we want to hear it. And if you don't feel ready to take the stage, that's fine. Come and listen!

We never know what kind of stories we're going to hear and that is the whole point!

Thanks, as always, to for the support and the space. If you need a pint to inspire some bravery, they have something on tap for that.

It's a great time to be in Seattle! Come share in the electric energy by sharing a story of your own massive victory, your own record setting game, your own halftime cameo!
