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.



ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25TH, 8PM: HOW I LEARNED THERE MIGHT BE SOME ISSUES


We're coming to Union Hall and we've got extra baggage this time. Bring your own benzos.

Oh, and hey! I'm happy to report that we'll be at Union Hall for the rest of 2014 and potentially thereafter. No more vagabonding around until, well, hopefully never. Brooklyn's adopted us! It's great because I already live there.
