Yum’s the Word curates funny, true stories with heart. You don’t have to be a comedian, but your story should have funny moments in it.

Instructions
If you would like to tell a story at an upcoming Yum’s the Word show, please follow these instructions.

• Send a pitch with a brief description (150 words max.) of your story detailing the beginning, middle and end to info[AT]yumsthewordshow[DOT]com. Please do not send essays, bullets, teases or long pitches.
• If Robin is not familiar with your work, please send a video of you telling a story in front of an audience (ideally, the story that you’re pitching).
• In the subject line of your email, please write “Pitch: Theme” (e.g. “Pitch: Banana Split”). If you want to submit for multiple themes, please send separate emails.
• We strongly suggest you attend a show to get a “taste” of the event and introduce yourself to Robin after the show if you don’t know her. Check the show schedule.

Please note - We do not have the dates for the upcoming shows because we only get them a month in advance, and we do not know when we’re booking which themes.
