At You’re Being Ridiculous, real people tell true stories about their lives. Each performance is linked by our rotating themes, and by the desire to make you laugh—and, once in awhile, cry. Our motto: Good stories are better than good times. We laugh at ourselves, and laugh with each other. Everyone has a story to tell. What’s yours?
Each show features a diverse lineup of six or more performers telling a story of approximately 10 minutes. The show runs from 60 to 90 minutes. You’re Being Ridiculous was founded in 2010 by Jeremy Owens.

The only requirement is that you have a non-fiction story about your life and experience that you’re excited to share with a room full of strangers.
