Story League at the DC Improv

Big thanks to the Story League and Scott Shrake for having me on their Winter Storytelling Championship at the legendary DC Improv! I had such a great time! If you have the chance, be sure to check out all of the other Story League events. 

Nothing much, just telling a story about how I wooed a guy by mailing a dead bird. 

Congrats to Rachel Evans who won and to all the other amazing storytellers!

Serving Up 2015 Realness

Hey friends, comrades, and 4-legged beasts of all kinds! HAPPY 2015!

We're hitting the ground running over here and I'm so excited for what we've got planned this month! (And every time I say "we" I mean me and my cat.)

First off, January 2015 marks 6 YEARS OF SIDESHOW GOSHKO! Holy moly, how did that happen?!

We'll be celebrating our 6 year anniversary on Thursday, January 29th, 7pm at KGB Bar. Always FREE, always at a Soviet Bar. We have an all-star lineup featuring:

Andy Christie (host The Liar Show, Peabody Award-winning Moth Radio Hour)

Catie Lazarus (host Employee of the Month, The New York Times)

Martin Dockery (“Outstanding Solo Performer” – NY Innovative Theater Awards, Edinburgh Fringe Festival)

Also, this month, I'm excited to be playing synths for the debut album release for band Susan Jane on Sunday, January 25th, 7pm at the Delancey. The show is FREE and you can RSVP HERE!

And a HUGE thanks to The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts! They were very gracious and individually edited our stories from Story League Presents: PRESENTS. My story is now featured on the Kennedy Center's Youtube Page! Huge thanks to Scott Shrake, The Story League, and the Kennedy Center. Such an amazing night.

And in the midst of all this, I'll be turning another year older this month! I personally believe I have the best birth date on the planet because I share it with Janis Joplin and Dolly Parton. Not bad company to be in ;)

Happy 2015, everyone! And hope to catch you at a show!

Cheers!

We Came, We Saw, We Kennedy-ed!

Performing at the Kennedy Center

On Sunday, December 7th, I got to perform live at The Kennedy Center as part of The Story League Presents: Presents! It was a fantastic show and I'm so honored to have been a part of it.

And in case you weren't able to be there in person, no worries! You can watch it on the Kennedy Center archives (I'm in the Kennedy Center archives!!!) right HERE! (I'm at the 57:28 mark)

Huge thanks to The Story League, The Kennedy Center, and to the amazing 400 person sold-out audience we had. You guys were amazing and so much for to perform for!

And just think, we were one stage away from this amazing group of humans!

Kennedy Center honorees Tom Hanks, Sting, Al Green, Patricia McBride, and Lily Tomlin. I LOVE YOU, TOM HANKS!

 A truly magical night. Like, unicorns-are-awesome magical night!
