Come to our very first event highlighting ESL voices in a cozy community space at 2727 California Street in Berkeley.
It is a donation-based event, no tickets, no registration required.
Arrive before 7 pm and drop your name into the magical hat and tell us your true funny story. Though... it is April 1st!😁 We hope to share a fun evening together. ❤️
This is not a typical storytelling event. Expect improv, and surprises along the way.🤪 Come listen, grab a cookie, and maybe discover some new accents. 😀

Your precious hosts: NADYA (Hope Silver) & LUBA (Love Gold) Perfect English is not required.
