Event Details

In the mood for a good true story? How about five? Look no further.

Pretty Good Stories is… …stand-up for artsy people …entertaining oversharing …deep dives into moments that shape our lives, both small and large …all coupled with some live music to smooth the edges.

Please join us at the Sound Room (note: excellent food and drink). We are thrilled to bring you true-life stories from Diane Amos, Kimberlli Joy Walker, Craig Byrne, and ourselves, as well as original songs from Jon Smear. It’s a packed show, and we’re looking forward to it.

At Pretty Good Stories, Hosts Beau Ryder Davis and Tom Darci bring you a selection of the best storytellers from the Bay Area and beyond to present true stories in longer form. Come sink in to these stories that make you laugh, cry, and feel connection to all that makes us human. Plus, there’s music.
