Stories from Here: An Evening of storytelling from awfully hilarious & The Mom Babes

Come join us for an evening of storytelling, laughter (and maybe even a cringy moment, or a tear or two) with emerging local writers from the awfully hilarious project and The Mom Babes.

awfully hilarious: stories we never tell became a best-seller overnight when it launched its collection of cringey dating stories and taboo bodily-fluid moments on Valentine’s Day this past year, and The Mom Babes now have their 3rd volume out on shelves (their 2nd volume won the Canadian Book Club Award in the short story/anthology genre).

Join in the fun on Thursday, September 21. Can’t wait to see you!
