WRITE CLUB is live lit and literature as bloodsport. 3rd Tuesday of the month at GMan Tavern, the best writers compete for cash and glory.

POSTS STORIES REELS

Ah, November. The most confusing month. The leaves change, the weather fluctuates, but we are expected to pledge our undying loyalty in the voting booth. Between midterms and Thanksgiving, the gluttony is understandable. Good thing Write Club is back to stuff our brains as well.

Welcome to Write Club: Why, I Autumn...!

3 bouts of
2 opposing writers
7 minutes apiece
on topics assigned in advance
Audience picks a winner

Victors take home $100 and The Loving Cup of Deathless F*cking Glory,
Those Who Do Not Prevail get $50.

Here is your lineup:

HISTORY (Janna Sobel) vs MYTH (Lily Be)

MEAL (Carly Travis) vs SNACK (Tara Betts)

STREAK (Carmenita Peoples) vs SLUMP (Rammel Chan)

Host: Bilal Dardai
Timekeeper: Josh Zagoren

In this, the dumbest of timelines, human words and voices spoken with human mouths to actual humans are the very tools to help build us up and shake us out of our mental doomscrolling. It is with this fortification we fight another day. Be in the room with us for the best experience possible, and be livestreaming with us for the next best thing. Tickets are $25 suggested donation at the door, and live stream tickets are $10 with access to the recording for 10 days after the show.

Amazing turnout for Write Club: The Rising Cost of Ghastly! We kicked off Season 17 with a bang: 6 incredible combatants, 3 bouts nearly too close to call, a kick ass set by Gargamel after the show, and our first ever Chicago livestream by KBH Media.

Thanks as always to our host Gman Tavern.

Check out host Corrbette Pasko on Show & Tell with Andrea Darlas, talking out Write Club's 17th Season, kicking off TOMORROW NIGHT at Gman Tavern!

Corrbette Pasko Gman Tavern by @writeclubnation

Frightful times are upon us. The last thing you need at Write Club: The Rising Price of Ghastly is the social anxiety of not knowing when to clap and when to stop clapping.

That's what host Corrbette Pasko and Timer Josh Zagoren are here for, to make you feel as safe as having the closet door closed tight and the blanket pulled up to your chin.

Audience does the clapping. Clapping determines winners. Winners take home $100 and The Loving Cup of Deathless F*cking Glory.

**Write Club's social media manager was looking up weird facts about Halloween movies but got too creeped out and had to stop. You’re welcome for not passing along the nightmares.

Instead, why don't ya check out the last bout for Write Club: The Rising Price of Ghastly. This is FIRST (Binkey Tolefree) v FINAL (Archy Jamjun).

Who will be victorious? The combatant with the most claps and woohoos. YOUR claps and woohoos. Winner walks away with The Loving Cup of Deathless F*cking Glory and $100.

Apparently, America's favorite Halloween candy is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. What's yours?

While you're thinking about it, check out the next bout for Write Club: The Rising Price of Ghastly. This is MEAT (Elizabeth Gomez) v BONE (Breon Arzell).

One of these combatants will be a victor. YOU help determine which one. What's at stake? The Loving Cup of Deathless F*cking Glory and $100, naturally.
