Ever left a voicemail that still haunts you? Put your foot in your mouth (on more than one occasion)? We all have our share of cringe-worthy moments we'd like to absolve ourselves of. How about starting fresh? With a clean slate. Sounds pretty nice, huh? Here’s your chance to reflect just in time for the Jewish New Year.
10Q (
http://www.doyou10Q.com) cordially invites you to WITH REGRETS – an evening of comedy, storytelling & atonement dedicated to our biggest confessions of 2011. Come raise a glass with hosts Jessica Chaffin & Jessi Klein to absolve yourself of everything from skipping services to that Tweet you wish you could take back.
We've joined forces with our friends at Found Magazine, Record Setter and Six-Word Memoir Project (contribute a six word memoir about regretting on the wall below & it just might make it into the show!)
Doors at 7pm so come early and grab a drink before NYC’s leading comics, storytellers, satirists, and musicians take the stage to confess their biggest regrets of 2011. You’ll have a chance to confess yours’ too…if you dare.
