Thanks for coming to Still Listening!
Thank you for joining us for Still Listening, CAC's first ever listening event. We had a blast and hope you did too!
We also want to thank the Lincoln Lodge, Chicago's only non-profit comedy venue, and Sonal Aggarwal, our wonderful emcee for the night. Make sure to follow Sonal and go see her again soon... maybe at the Lincoln Lodge??
If you have a moment, we'd love some anonymous feedback as we plan for future events.
We had a great time sharing so many wonderful pieces with you last night. Below you'll find a complete list of the stories in the show, some of which can be found publicly online.
We do want to specifically highlight the piece La Patria by Michaela Marchi. Due to a technical error, this story was cut short in playback last night. We encourage you to listen to the full version, available here:
