Everyone knows someone in their life that tells a damn good story. They weave the threads of a tale together like a spider. They know when to make you laugh or bring you to the brink of tears. And at the end, you go away knowing you’re going to remember that random man in the pub and his tale for the rest of your life. Lucky for us, Glasgow is chock-bloody-full of these wildcards.
Wildcard Stories is a storytelling show that brings contemporary and traditional tellers together on stage, each one mined directly from the rich Glasgow scene. Prepare to hear yarns spun so entertainingly that Kev from work’s holiday plans will never satisfy you again. Local performance artists and all-around freaks Bryce Drennan and Frankie Regalia host this quarterly event, proudly presenting you with the best (or most available) of Glasgow’s storytelling talent. Wildcard Stories was started to provide a platform for Glasgow’s unique, character-rich, and nearly always intelligible voice.
For this event, we are partnering with musician Monday Soutar to tell stories inspired by his incredible album This Sprawling Land. Come with us into the American West as we explore the mysticism and magic found only in the wild heart of the desert.
Whether you’re a storytelling fan, a tall tale newbie, or a lonely soul looking for something to do of an evening, Wildcard Stories is for you. Book your tickets now!
