Yum’s the Word 3-Year Anniversary Show

“Yum’s The Word” is a new show that blends old-fashioned birthday parties with modern- day storytelling. Each month comedian and storyteller, Robin Gelfenbien, throws a party for an audience member replete with Mad Libs, balloon animals and homemade ice cream cakes. Join Robin and some of New York City’s best storytellers for a sweet and decadent night of juicy stories and treats.

Aaron Wolfe

Aaron Wolfe is a Brooklyn-based writer, filmmaker, Moth GrandSLAM winning storyteller, and obsessive fan of Tottenham Hotspur — an English Football club, which he knows is dreadfully hipster and he’s pretty embarrassed about it, but he’s trying to own it, you know? He’s also the host of “First Time, Long Time” a brand new storytelling show about sports and games and silly stuff.
