With everyone keeping their distance, remember that stories can still bring us together. On the rise are virtual storytelling shows, comedy shows, open mics, and the like. With that in mind, I’ll be tracking as many as I can find. Below are the ones I know of already. There are a few things to pay attention to:

  1. The list is broken into 2 sections
    1. Those shows that are happening on specific dates, and those that are happening over varying dates over the next few weeks
  2. For those from the DC, MD, and VA area, you will find local favorites such as Better Said Than Done, The Story collider, and Story District. You will also find shows from Canada, the Netherlands, and other faraway places. To get the exact times and dates, be sure to click the links for more info.
  3. Some shows have a cost, some are free, some ask for a donation. Click the link for more info
  4. Some of the shows are using Zoom, others are Facebook live, other will use Instagram. Once again, click the link for more info (are you noticing a theme here?)
  5. Some don’t have links up yet (I know, I know, I just told to check the links.) Once those links are updated, I’ll update the blog. You can also follow me on Facebook @storytellingonpurpose365 where I will have the most up-to-date info on virtual shows

If you know of more that I don’t have it listed, I’d love to hear from you!

After years of being an instructor in the military and the and the fire service, I realized I needed to improve my delivery. My students needed me to improve delivery. But how do I improve my delivery? Simple. I finally took a member of Toastmasters up on the invitation to come to a meeting. It wasn't long until I joined. Along the way of improving my skills at delivering a message, I came to understand that of all the ways to get a point across, telling stories is the best way to get it done. Around this time, another friend from Toastmasters told me about The Moth monthly story telling shows. What better way to test out my theories on storytelling. It's in my travels there to the shows that I found more and more shows, and classes, and events centered around storytelling. Despite how many people know about the storytelling world, not many people know about the storytelling world. So now, I'm out to tell the world about storytelling.
