BACK FENCE PDX | RUSSIAN ROULETTE
STORYTELLERS for this round of Russian Roulette include: Our winner from the June 20th show JASON SAULS (PDX), with STEVE ALMOND (BOS), ARTHUR BRADFORD (PDX), JILLIAN LAUREN (LA), EMMETT MONTGOMERY (SEA), SARAH MIRK (PDX), SHANNON BALCOM (PDX), and LEATHER STORRS (PDX). (more below!)
No Lies. No Notes. No Time.
DOORS/DRINKS/SNACKS 7:00PM, SHOW 8:00PM
$16 online, $18 door
How it works: each show begins with a full wheel of juicy story prompts. One of the 8 storytellers will be randomly drawn. They spin the wheel to decide the prompt for their story. They can play or pass! If they pass another teller can steal their prompt! Then the risky part...each storyteller has only 5 minutes to come up with a true 5-minute story based on that prompt!!! It's like we invented a new game called truth AND dare!
At the end of the night, the audience will select a winner who will receive 50 bucks and some other cool prizes, like bragging rights for life. AND THIS IS NEW...one audience member will also receive a bounty of prizes!
