The live experience
What reaches the room
Karaoke Storytellers is a Chicago-born improv-and-karaoke hybrid that turns songs into stories. Created in January 2018 by Connor Gorman and hosted by Jacoby Cochran of CityCast Chicago, the show invites seven performers to tell a short story inspired by a song, followed by a live karaoke performance of that same song. The experience blends stand-up pacing, narrative craft, and crowd-pleasing musical moments for a uniquely entertaining evening.
