Chestnut: A Live Storytelling Hour
7:00pm
In the spirit of liberation and celebration what’s a time when you were on top? Prepare a story about your craziest party, a victory you didn’t see coming, or that mountain you finally climbed after 5 years of planning. Think back to that bottle of tequila or a sunny day after a storm. Whether it was a win for the soul or fireworks literally lit up the sky, sometimes we need a reminder to celebrate the big and the small.
In case you need anymore inspiration I invite you to think back to those milestones: prom, 21st birthday, that wedding your cousin had in the woods, or the 30th birthday party that was more of a rave.
Bring a story, a friend, or simply yourselves.

Jilberto Soto
7:00pm
Before ¡Ay! Papi heads to Edinburgh, it's making one stop in NYC.
Jilberto's dad skipped his wedding. His brother just had a baby. Everyone keeps asking when he's having kids. He's not. But he'll deliver an hour of comedy about it, which honestly seems healthier.
¡Ay! Papi is a stand-up hour about fatherhood from someone who isn't one. Gay, first-gen Mexican American, and armed with too many feelings about it.
