Hohm, known throughout Seattle for his evocative, memorized performances, brings literary crime and mystery stories to life with theatrical flair. An Evening of Murder features chilling tales by acclaimed authors including Bill Pronzini, Ruth Rendell, Jack Ritchie, and Jennifer Gifford. Rather than reading from a page, Hohm performs each story from memory—infusing them with dramatic tension and emotional depth.
A longtime presence in Seattle’s storytelling scene, Hohm has performed at open mics, festivals, theaters, libraries, and private venues across the city. He specializes in dark, character-driven narratives by masterful writers of suspense, horror, and psychological fiction.
