Carapace Atlanta

Come out of your shell!

A place for story connoisseurs…

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.

Raconteurs + Rapt Audience
= Really Good Time!

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!

Even a free show ain’t entirely free…

Next Month’s Theme: Head Over Heels

Tuesday, February 10, 7p, Manuel’s Tavern

Prompt coming soon.

Whatever your story, we’ll be over-the-moon to be waiting, as always on the 2nd Tuesdays, at Manuel’s Tavern. While the show begins at 7p, we encourage folx to get there early and get their orders in with the finest wait staff in town. As a reminder, we welcome story listeners and storytellers alike—just as long as you’re a connoisseur of stories (and of Manuel’s food).

The hat of destiny awaits…

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

Join in the fun…
