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.

Next Month’s Theme: A Hard Day’s Night

Tuesday, September 9, 7p Manuel’s Tavern

Yikes on bikes. These days, seems like every day feels like a hard day’s night, no? Things being what they are, have you been working like a dog? Do you at least have someone waiting for you at home that makes you feel alllllright?

Tell us about a time when you had to dig deep, work like you’ve never had to before. Or maybe you have an epic story contained in one unbelievably long night—did you pull an all-nighter? find yourself in an E.R. waiting room at 2a with a loved one? drive all night? 

Whatever your story of toil, trouble, or shenanigans, we’ll be waiting at Manuel’s Tavern on Tuesday, September 9 at 7p,  where everything seems to be right on the second Tuesdays of the month. Come down early to join your fellow Carapeeps for a drink and some nosh, courtesy of the best wait staff in town. Reminder: there’s never any pressure to tell a story. We adore story listeners and storytellers alike. 

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…
