PROJECT RUNWAY's Tim Gunn to Share Stories with Yum's The Word at LPR

Comedic storyteller Robin Gelfenbien is thrilled to welcome Tim Gunn (Project Runway), "Orange is the New Black's" (Orange is the New Black), Gastor Almonte (This Is Not Happening) and Danny Artese (3-Time Moth Story Slam Winner) to Yum's the Word on Tuesday, May 23rd at (le) poisson rouge.

To kick off summer they will share funny true stories on the theme "Ice Cream Social: Stories of Social Butterflies, Social Experiments, Social Faux Pas and more." Each month Robin hosts this storytelling show/birthday party for audience members replete with Mad Libs, nostalgic candy and her signature homemade ice cream cakes.

Ever since Robin was a little girl, her family has been making ice cream cakes for their birthdays, and she's since carried on that tradition for her friends' birthdays. They became so popular that she blended her passion for making ice cream cakes with her passion for storytelling, and Yum's the Word was born.

"Nothing says summer like ice cream and I can't think of a better way to kick it off than with funny true stories, ice cream cakes and this unbelievable lineup. Ice cream cakes remind people of their childhood, and I want to celebrate that nostalgia with the purest form of entertainment, storytelling. The show is all about feeding your belly and your inner child," says Gelfenbien.
