Since 2009, How I Learned has featured some of the best live storytelling, comedy, and readings in New York City. It all happens a couple of times a year, and sometimes more than that, which basically means you'll have the best night of you life on those nights, repeatedly.



UP NEXT: How I Learned I Was Right All Along

I'm never right. You should never listen to anything I say. That's why I've invited an intrepid journalist, a versatile humor writer, a champion storyteller and a bestselling, award-winning novelist to do most of the talking. Most. Do join us because it'll be fun and free and easy. Trust me. I know I'm right.
