Upcoming Shows!
Want to try storytelling?
No tickets necessary—just DM us to get a spot on the line-up and hang out with some real sweethearts to get some supportive feedback on your story.
What If You’re Funny AND have a second talent?
Zane Thomas, host of this show, is a comedian AND a rapper. They don’t get the chance to do both on very many stages… but here at The Other Thing, Zane welcomes a line up of folks who can tell jokes and then follow it up with another talent. Come check out this free show at the lovely NW Portland Hostel. We can’t wait to see what else these funny folks can do.
Does it feel like the world is ending to you too?
Maybe it’s all the smoke lately, or the general impending doom feeling of the last few years—but here at Telltale, we’ve been wanting to make art with new people, so even if the world ends, we go down fighting and making something beautiful. And maybe if we try hard enough, it doesn’t end after all. Either way, buy a ticket and hold hands with someone while we fight a little longer, okay?
Do You See Them Too?
We’re all just dealing with the brain we got, and over here at Telltale, we’ve got a lot of love for folks doing their best with a brain that operates a little differently. Come celebrate a variety show that champions some lovely people getting to make art of out things that aren’t usually welcomed to be on the stage. This one is really special. Invite all your friends to this one. It’s beautiful.
Death Is Inevitable.
…but how we handle it, that’s another story. Comics tell stories about loved ones lost—we’ll probably laugh, and probably cry, and then we’ll ring a bell to send a little message to them, and light a candle. The more people know about them, the more they get to stay alive just a little. It’s important. (And the best part is the slide show of vintage photographs.)
Want a literal one time only experience?
This is the best. We get a group of storytellers together. Then we get a group of freestyle rappers together from Bars Over Bars. Then we add a charming host, a beat maker, and a dive bar, and we get a show unlike anything else you’ve seen before—each freestyle is a magical thing that happens in the moment that one night only.
I’m Going To Haunt You So Good, You Know.
THIS IS THE BEST SHOW OF THE YEAR, BABY. We pull out all the stops for this one. There’s a creepy vendors market, live music from Stephanie Strange, tattoos from INKBUS, beer tasting from Great Notion Brewing, AND THEN there’s the ghost stories. If you only make it to one show this year, this is the one, we promise.
