Inside Story: Storytelling & Improv Comedy Show feat. Bar Stories

Each performance features live storytellers sharing real experiences, from hilarious mistakes and unexpected adventures to meaningful moments and surprising discoveries. Then, Unexpected Productions’ improvisers use those stories as inspiration to create scenes, characters, and comedy on the spot.

Think The Moth colliding with Whose Line Is It Anyway? Every show is different because every story inspires something new.

You may even have the chance to share a story of your own and watch it transformed into an unforgettable improvised performance.

Featured Storytellers

September 13
Featuring Rebecca Lambert & Nick Vega, producers and storytellers from Bar Stories. They create a space where authentic, first-person stories unfold naturally: raw, unpolished, and completely unscripted. There’s no sign-up sheet or curated lineup. One story simply sparks the next as audience members become storytellers and strangers find unexpected connections. After each story, the room can ask questions, adding new layers to the conversation. Featuring hosts Nick Vega, Rebecca Lambert, and storytellers Steve Farrell and Rachel Crick, this evening is less like a traditional show and more like the best real-life group chat you’ve ever joined. https://barstories.org/
