About Story Warz
Story Warz is a live, story-driven comedy show staged at New York Comedy Club – Midtown, where stand-ups turn personal anecdotes into structured bits in front of a room that hears every pause. Featured performers include Big Jay Oakerson and Luis J. Gomez, working in a New York tradition that treats confession and argument as raw material for humor. No specific NYC premiere history is publicly established, but the format fits the city’s long-running workshop culture for testing voice and timing. One critical note: the show rewards clarity over chaos, and not every story survives the spotlight.
