Thanks to The Steamroller for this awesome post!

Produced by Caitlin Bergh, The Funny Story Show is a place for folks from the storytelling and standup comedy scenes can come together to share true, personal stories. Bergh’s an aggressively honest comic, whose storytelling chops are unmatched on the standup scene, which makes her the perfect person to run this sort of show. Cason, the evening’s headliner, is a Moth GrandSLAM champion and a staff writer for WBEZ’s Paper Machete show.

“Caitlin Bergh hosts this hybrid show in which local stand-ups morph their material into storytelling format with a chance for audience participation at the end. The venue is “cozy” to say the least and the quality of storytellers varies, but Bergh is irresistible in the role of host; we wanted more of her.
