¡Vamos! A Fundraiser & Comedy Show Celebrating Mexican Independence Day (feat. Chris Estrada, Melissa Villaseñor and more)

Do you desire a tarot reading that is therapeutic and profound yet super casual and uplifting and it lasts at least 10 minutes and also you want wine as well? Come to Nico’s! Sam Oh has been a tarot practitioner since 2018 and a Goop-approved psychic once told him that he’s “totally intuitive.” Step through the bead curtain of Nico’s and leave completely changed yet still who you are…

First Draft Presents is a monthly storytelling show, celebrating the true stories of queer and female creatives. With a new theme each month, we give storytellers a space to share a variety of first-draft-nonfiction in an open-mic format. Stories range from hilarious, often embarrassing anecdotes, to vulnerable and heart wrenching revelations. We’re honored to cultivate this burgeoning artistic community in Atwater Village, where listeners and storytellers can come together to laugh, cringe, cry and drink wine!

Lineup:

Julia Lechner
Kaitlyn Tamimoto
Tori Weaver
Karol Curiel-Kozycz
Addy Bruggeman
Alicia Michele
Britt Warner

First Draft Presents is also a podcast that can be found on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
