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.

Even a free show ain’t entirely free…
Next Month’s Theme: Live & Let Die
Tuesday, January 13, 7p, Manuel’s Tavern
Faced with the prospect of more New Year’s Resolutions, when was a time you had to make your peace with letting go? Did you say, “Out with the old, in with the new?” Tell us about running into your high school ex at the grocery store and letting that dream die over the avocados.
Death, oddly, can spurn any number of surprising predicaments. Perhaps Crazy Cousin Darrell fell in the open grave. Or maybe the aunts had it out over who was gonna get the china.
Whatever your story, we’ll be resolutely 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…
