Truth in Comedy, or TiC for short, is a storytelling, stand-up comedy, and art show where humanity is the muse. It's a unique experience that's raw and beautiful. Three individuals will tell a very personal story from their life, aka their truth, where they will be very open, honest, and vulnerable. Afterwards, a comedian will perform a set inspired by the story. At the end of the night, an artist will present a triptych they created inspired by the stories as well. Join us for this unique experience to see why no matter what we go through, we can always find something to smile or laugh about. Real. Funny. Storytellers: - TJ Tallie - Amber Liggon - Carolyne Ouya Comedians: - Byron Stamps - Camille Waters - Ellen Sugarman Artist: - Kelsey O Daniels For more information visit: truthincomedy.com Stay Connected on Social Media Instagram / Facebook
