"Tangy" - Best of the SpeakeasyDC Vol. 1

In Volume 1 of Best of the Speakeasy, hear stories about coming out to your grandmother, fighting a sumo wrestler, putting your heart on the line, losing to your arch-enemy, discovering your "manhood", and more.

All stories are original and were recorded live at SpeakeasyDC's Open Mic Storytelling Series which takes place the second Tuesday of every month in Washington, DC.

Thanks to ESL Music/Thievery Corporation for making this possible. All proceeds from merchandise sales go to support the not-for-profit work of SpeakeasyDC.
