This summer, Saturday nights at Story Parlor are for comedy.
We’re hosting a weekly comedy series featuring stand-ups, storytellers, improvisers, sketch performers, and delightfully hard-to-categorize humans from Asheville and beyond.
Expect sharp writing, strange tangents, unexpected honesty, and the kind of intimate room where every laugh lands a little louder.
Each week brings a different lineup, a different energy, and a different reason to gather with people who could probably all use a good laugh right now.
No advance tickets. Just show up, grab a drink, and join us.
$10 at the door. Seating is first come, first served.

Losing Is Okay
Improvised Rockumentary: How Losing became Okay
One Night Only.
One Epic Rise.
One Hilarious Fall.
Ever wonder what happens when you mix the backstage chaos of “This Is Spinal Tap” with unpredictable live musical improv? You get the greatest rockumentary never written!
Welcome to a completely unscripted, high-stakes musical comedy show where YOU hold the backstage pass. Our cast will spin your suggestions into the explosive rise and spectacular, ego-fueled meltdown of a legendary band that doesn’t even exist yet.
You provide the band name and the hit songs. We crank it to 11 with backstage drama, and completely made-up songs, accompanied by a live pianist.
It’s 100% improvised, totally unique, and happening for the first and last time. Grab your tickets, find your rhythm, and help us make fake music history!
THANK YOU to Alpha Environmental & Engineering for sponsoring our Summer Comedy Series!
