Be afraid - very, very afraid - when the city's coolest crew of lunatic storytellers comes out for this hot new late night monthly talk show with a twist, co-presented by Theater Wit and The Inconvenience.

Enjoy a beverage or three from the Theater Wit bar while live storytellers share true tales of the weird and bizarre that can only happen in urban settings. Guest storytellers for Take it to Your Grave include Inconvenience company member Brian Rad and Theater Wit artistic director Jeremy Wechsler. Both will share all-true personal tales about life in the urban jungle that, until next Saturday, they had successfully repressed. Musical guest is Absolutely Not.

According to Chris Chmilek, Artistic Director of The Inconvenience, "The focus of The Inconvenience Presents... series with Theater Wit is to revisit the act of LIVE storytelling via a constantly-shifting, late-night, live multi-medium revue. We want each act to feel like a section of an old EC Horror Comics installment. Think Tales From the Crypt or the like."

Mark your calendar for the next editions of The Inconvenience Presents...series: Saturday, May 25 and June 29 at 10:30 p.m. Visit TheaterWit.org for updates.
