Hello "Dish!" fans! We're hot and bothered by the news that our venue is not what we hoped it would be! Our August 29 show is CANCELED, and "Dish!" will no longer appear at Hill Center. Management and staffing issues there meant the venue was unable to sustainably promote, staff, or host our exciting storytelling show.

But wait! We've been here before, when beloved neighborhood hotspot Crazy Aunt Helen's closed in October. And so here we are again---looking for a new venue on Capitol Hill! That's right, the show must go on. "Dish!" thanks Hill Center for welcoming us and being part of the fun. Our partnership showed great promise. We wish them luck.

If you know of somewhere that might like to host "Dish!" for it's third incarnation, we can't wait to drink in the news like a cold glass of lemonade. Stay cool out there! And, as always, thank you for your wonderful support. Hope to see you soon!

Beat the heat this month! Stay inside and think of a 5-7-minute true, personal story to pitch to Dish: The Storytelling Cocktail Hour! Our next show at Hill Center takes place late August, which gives you plenty of time to email [email protected].

There is no theme to this quarterly show, which means we can take whatever you “dish” out. If you're selected, you could be telling your secrets to a room full of strangers soon! Or if you're feeling lucky...take your chance as an audience volunteer!
