So What Happened Was...

1 upcoming performance in New York

“So What Happened Was...” is a monthly storytelling series presented at Freddy’s Bar in Brooklyn, scheduled on third Mondays after the comedy show. It follows a simple structure: people step up, talk through a lived incident, and let the room do the rest. In a city with a long history of oral storytelling—from downtown stages to neighborhood bars—the series sits in that lineage, keeping the form informal and local. The earned observation is that the timing after an open mic makes the stories feel less curated, and more like public record.
