WHERE I WILL BE
Pet-Themed Post-Valentine's Day Story Slam
BSP Kingston, February 18th, 2016, 7:30pm
Emceed by comic, performer and TMI Project co-founder Julie Novak (who is also one of two moms to canines Jackson and Archie)
T.M.I.dol is TMI Project’s popular story slam series (think TMI meets American Idol), in which readers compete by telling short, true stories from their own experiences, on a particular theme. Readers are given guidelines for creating a story, but unlike with the monologues produced for our stage shows, we do not do any work on these, nor even see the stories beforehand.
Tickets are $10 in advance via Brown Paper Tickets, and $15 at the door on the day of the event.

TMI Round 7: TRAGEDY + TIME = COMEDY
Friday, July 10th, 2015 at 8pm
Saturday, July 11th, 2015 at 8pm
In true TMI Project style, participants in our first ever Comedic Monologue Writing Workshop have mined true experiences from their lives and found hilarity in them. There is often humor in the most tragic circumstances, as the human experience pushes us to the edge, and the absurdity of it all cannot be ignored. Hearing the readers perform their comedic monologues promises to be a freeing and empowering experience that will have everyone rolling in the aisles!
