Live, Miami based, storytellers gather weekly to tell tales. All stories must be true, and have happened to the storyteller. Those are the only two rules. Anything else goes. It might get a bit raw and gritty, but your Uncle Scotchy says it's ok...

    Sande's Story.... a tribute to Uncle Scotchy's mother in story and song

    Hello to my nieces and nephews out there around the world... This is a special story about a special woman. My mother's battle with early onset Alzheimer's Disease and what it did to me and my father is something people should hear. If you have dealt with someone personally and directly who has it, know you are not alone. If you have not, this is a little taste of what it is like. Alzheimer's is treated like the dirty little secret that just about everyone has somewhere in their family. Telling stories about it, crying about it, and even laughing about it brings us all closer together. I hope you all enjoy the story and the song that follows. "Sande's Song."

    This was an fun one, folks! Uncle Scotchy kicked off the night going a bit low brow with a story about growing old, a first date, and a fart that resulted in love. Next up was musician, Taylor Davis. TD told a great story of being on the road and dealing with booze and a crazy tour manager in Jersey. After that, he capped it off with a little motivational tale involving meeting an idol of his. Paulie Mcpaulerson is a comedienne, and professional voice over person. (not an easy job, I learned). Her stories of her conservative mother, her sister, her amazing husband, and the lengths they went to keep things spicy in the bedroom were amazing! Last up was Travis the Voice. This guy is a truly professional comic and all around performer. Travis gives us a look under the hood at one of his most popular bits, and goes into his unusual upbringing on a farm. We let Travis run a little long that night because we couldn't get enough of his energy and honest insights. Enjoy and stay Scotchy, my friends!!!

Her stories about breakups, moving to Miami, and even having an addiction to amphetamines are freakin hilarious. Kevin Benoit is also a stand up comic. His story is about growing up coming from Haiti to America, what it means to be black, online porn, and a literally explosive chicken wing situation turned to disaster!

Marcel tells a touching tale of growing up in the sort of distant shadow as his father, who was a world class, touring drummer who passed away a few years ago. Beautiful stuff...
