Chloe has cheated in almost every relationship she's ever had, and she's been in a lot of relationships, because she is a serial monogamist who is very bad at one of those words. Infidelity is more common than any of us admit; most people just keep it a guilty secret forever. Chloe is a comedian, writer, and actor in NYC, with a special on Comedy Central. This solo show arcs from standup comedy at the beginning to heartbreaking self-investigation at the end: think Nanette performed by Don Draper. Through autobiographical stories and observational humor, she walks through why someone cheats and how to face an addiction to intimacy. Because while progressive society engages with nuance in almost every other area of sexuality and gender, cheaters remain black-and-white villains. We take an abstinence-only approach to infidelity: just don't do it! And we all remember how well abstinence-only worked in sex ed. The show does not advocate cheating; but it does know everyone's little secret.

I'm Monroe Martin, and I have a new one-man show called Public Property. It's about self-discovery and the effects that the foster care system has had on my adult life. I realized I'd been in survival mode for 36 years and it feels like I escaped from one of those bunkers where crazy dudes store their second family. I've been roaming this big dumb rock called earth for years, but I feel like I'm experiencing things for the first time: friendship, love, and all those other feelings people take drugs to suppress. I'm unsure if I'm fully out of survival mode; maybe this is me sticking my dry-ass hand out the window and feeling the breeze. I thought I was well-adjusted this entire time, but I've been off-centered for decades.

A night of stories of dark winds through the forests, terrifying Eastern European babcias, the return of the Cold War, and the price we pay for the monsters we fail to stake through the heart.Mike Daisey, who has been called “the master storyteller” and “one of the finest solo performers of his generation” by The New York Times, is the preeminent monologist in the American theater today.Praise for Mike Daisey at the Kraine:"He is outstanding. These were startling and stirring words, the kind that hogtie your attention. They are worth having Daisey, and live theater, back for."The New York Times"I felt home again—listening to a talented storyteller spin a version of a year not entirely unlike the one I had just spent, felt really, really good."The Washington Post"Amid all the laughs, there’s a lucid lesson—Mike Daisey singlehandedly redefines the concept of mansplaining. He strips the practice of its condescension and defensiveness and turns it into a conscientious and humble discipline of self-examination as a man."DC Metro Arts

Odd Salon curates cocktail hour lectures highlighting strange-but-true stories from history, science, art, and adventure, live on stage, over cocktails. We bring experts and enthusiastic amateurs together to explore history’s overlooked and under-told stories, from legends of lost cities to masters of art forgery, engineering failures to murderous sideshow performers, daring heists, questionable taxidermy, and tales of epic revenge. Sometimes with stick figures. Founded in San Francisco, in 2014 by Annetta Black, Tre Balchowsky, and Rachel James, Odd Salon is inspired by the salonnières of the Enlightenment, the illustrated lectures of the Victorian period, and a strong desire to tell weird stories in good company.

We are a community project, centered around a Fellowship of speakers and an extended family of Members, and we have partnered with amazing organizations including the California Historical Society, the Long Now Foundation, the California Academy of Sciences, the tall ships of the Grey’s Harbor Historical Seaport, and the Exploratorium science museum.

Gather | Transitive Verb + Adverb |to put your arms around someone and hold or carry them in a careful or loving way. One More Day On Earth Together is a gathering, a celebration of the present moment. Ask Alexa to play “I Was Here” by Beyonce and stand in the light emanating from each and every person whose love and existence defines you. It’s that feeling where everyone says you have to love yourself first but what if you learn by example? Love and be loved and be loved and love again. Poetry as testament.

Chloe has cheated in almost every relationship she's ever had, and she's been in a lot of relationships, because she is a serial monogamist who is very bad at one of those words. Infidelity is more common than any of us admit; most people just keep it a guilty secret forever. Chloe is a comedian, writer, and actor in NYC, with a special on Comedy Central. This solo show arcs from standup comedy at the beginning to heartbreaking self-investigation at the end: think Nanette performed by Don Draper. Through autobiographical stories and observational humor, she walks through why someone cheats and how to face an addiction to intimacy. Because while progressive society engages with nuance in almost every other area of sexuality and gender, cheaters remain black-and-white villains. We take an abstinence-only approach to infidelity: just don't do it! And we all remember how well abstinence-only worked in sex ed. The show does not advocate cheating; but it does know everyone's little secret.

I'm Monroe Martin, and I have a new one-man show called Public Property. It's about self-discovery and the effects that the foster care system has had on my adult life. I realized I'd been in survival mode for 36 years and it feels like I escaped from one of those bunkers where crazy dudes store their second family. I've been roaming this big dumb rock called earth for years, but I feel like I'm experiencing things for the first time: friendship, love, and all those other feelings people take drugs to suppress. I'm unsure if I'm fully out of survival mode; maybe this is me sticking my dry-ass hand out the window and feeling the breeze. I thought I was well-adjusted this entire time, but I've been off-centered for decades.

What began as a way to work with her friends has exploded on the comedy scene. When Carole (a veteran of the stand up scene for over 40 years) started, you would never see two female comics on the same show. Fast forward to today’s comedy scene and nothing has changed, even though there are way more women in comedy. Carole decided to do something about it. Her first Showtime special made history as the only comedy special to feature 6 female comics over the age of 50. In fact it was the network's highest rated comedy special of 2019. Two more have followed with more in the works for 2022!This month, Funny Women of a Certain Age will feature:Amanda CohenJessie BaadeLaura PattonCarole MontgomeryStreaming option available.

FROM THIS MOMENT YOU ARE CURSED Created and Performed by Mike DaiseyIn a searing evening Mike Daisey is the first theater artist in America to address the war in the Ukraine, starting from the indelible image of a Ukranian woman telling a Russian soldier to fill his pockets with sunflower seeds, so when he dies plants will bloom on his corpse. A night of stories of dark winds through the forests, terrifying Eastern European babcias, the return of the Cold War, and the price we pay for the monsters we fail to stake through the heart.Mike Daisey, who has been called “the master storyteller” and “one of the finest solo performers of his generation” by The New York Times, is the preeminent monologist in the American theater today.Praise for Mike Daisey at the Kraine:"He is outstanding. These were startling and stirring words, the kind that hogtie your attention. They are worth having Daisey, and live theater, back for."The New York Times"I felt home again—listening to a talented storyteller spin a version of a year not entirely unlike the one I had just spent, felt really, really good."The Washington Post"Amid all the laughs, there’s a lucid lesson—Mike Daisey singlehandedly redefines the concept of mansplaining. He strips the practice of its condescension and defensiveness and turns it into a conscientious and humble discipline of self-examination as a man."DC Metro Arts
