Come out of your shell!
Carapace is a monthly event of true personal stories at Manuel's Tavern in Atlanta, every second Tuesday of the month (except December). While the show begins at 7p, we encourage people to get there early to meet their neighbors and enjoy a meal before the mic goes live.

Every second Tuesday of the month, ordinary raconteurs tell true, personal, five-minute (or so) stories on a pre-selected theme. Topics have included, for example, "Scars," and "Feuds & Rivalries."
Our hilarious host, Cris Gray, guides us through.
Names are drawn from a hat. No one is required to tell a story; attendees can just listen. It's free.
Help support the work of Carapace by kicking us a few coins!
Tuesday, January 13, 7p Manuel’s Tavern
Prompt coming soon.
Whatever your story of discomfort or big booms, we’ll be waiting at Manuel’s Tavern on Tuesday, January 13 at 7p, where you can sit elbow-to-elbow with us on the second Tuesdays of the month.
Come down early to join your fellow Carapeeps for bites & brews, courtesy of the best wait staff in town. There’s never any pressure to tell a story. We adore story connoisseurs of all varieties.


There’s never any pressure to tell a story, but you’ll never experience a more welcoming environment to try out the mic.
