Story-oke: Sing and Tell - Halloween Edition! at Caveat

Performers and audience members alike share a true story about their connection to a song, or the song itself, then sing the hell out of it. Every song has a story - maybe a spooky one!

STORY-OKE returns with a special Halloween Week edition, October 27, with our monthly night of karaoke storytelling!

For our next show, we'll have song storytellers from Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and Sesame Street, Science Tonight!, Balls: The Monster Catchin' Musical, the world of dance and more, with stories about finding inspiration, growth and a touch of trauma... all through song! Plus, whatever you, our audience, want to bring to the stage, with fabulous prizes (and, of course, candy)!

We’re also bringing back our new segment: KARAOKE ROULETTE! We had such a blast last night - people came up, spun the wheel, and sang a mystery song on the spot. It was glorious :)

Tuesday, October 27 Caveat - LES 9:30 PM (doors at 9) $15 advance / $20 door https://caveat.nyc/events/story-oke-sing-and-tell
