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: Heated Rivalry

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

Cats vs. dogs. Our team vs. yours. Frienemies. The neighbor who won’t stop playing loud music or who polices the HOA chat. There’s nothing like a good story about a relationship that went south. Fast.

Tell us about a time when you or your secret, sworn enemy took the dispute to the next level.  Did Crazy Cousin Darrell wage war with some squirrels?

Perhaps more recently, you simply became obsessed with a viral sensation, deliciously naughty hockey show, losing sleep but gaining friends, because the memes were just too good?

Whatever your story, we’ll be all worked up and waiting, as always on the second 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…
