Topic: First Inebriation

Do you remember the first time you tried a beer? Or how about the first time you smoked a joint? What about the first time you got drunk on that drug called love? What happened next?

That true story is too short to tell on stage so you get it here. We promise not to judge, but we might laugh - with you of course. Hear the tales of three phenomenal storytellers and then bring your words to the stage in the fourth Raconteur event.
