I’ve Got Some Stories To Tell

Well, below you are going to find all the important parts of attending the show. Before we get there, let me start off with the parts of this show that are important to me. This show is years of me discovering African American history and wanting to share it with others. This show is years of me trying to explain what’s it like to be a firefighter using stories and jokes. This show is a 75-minute performance telling things about the fire service and the African Americans in it that most people don’t know.

Now, let’s talk details. I need people at the show to have someone to talk to! The ticket sales are live! I’ll perform live in this Capital Fringe show on Jul 12th, 13th, 14th, and 20th. It will be 75 minutes of telling stories about African Americans in the fire service. The show is listed as a comedy, but comedic storytelling with cool facts is a more accurate description.

This will be at the Delirium Theatre Space in Washington, DC. All shows are in-person, with no online streaming or recording. It will be a great time to have, but you’ll have to be here for the experience. Tickets are $15. Buy yours and a few extra to enjoy the show with your friends. See the link below. I’m looking forward to telling you fire department stuff!

Capital Fringe “Black Smoke Showing”

Published by Nick Baskerville

After years of being an instructor in the military and the and the fire service, I realized I needed to improve my delivery. My students needed me to improve delivery. But how do I improve my delivery? Simple. I finally took a member of Toastmasters up on the invitation to come to a meeting. It wasn't long until I joined. Along the way of improving my skills at delivering a message, I came to understand that of all the ways to get a point across, telling stories is the best way to get it done. Around this time, another friend from Toastmasters told me about The Moth monthly story telling shows. What better way to test out my theories on storytelling. It's in my travels there to the shows that I found more and more shows, and classes, and events centered around storytelling. Despite how many people know about the storytelling world, not many people know about the storytelling world. So now, I'm out to tell the world about storytelling.
