Storytelling Workshop with Jon Bennett
Looking for a workshop that’s more fun than sitting through a lecture and more entertaining than a self-help book? Join internationally acclaimed comedian-storyteller Jon Bennett for a lively, hands-on deep dive into the art of storytelling. You’ll laugh, learn, and leave with skills (and maybe even a story) you’ll carry forever.
This isn’t a “sit quietly and take notes” class—it’s interactive, engaging, and packed with playful exercises.
You’ll:
✨ Try out games and prompts to spark your creativity
✨ Break down stories in a way that’s insightful and hilarious
✨ Learn how to structure a story so it keeps people hooked
✨ Experiment with performance techniques to make your stories unforgettable
✨ Share, collaborate, and workshop ideas in a supportive and laughter-filled space
With over 17 years touring internationally at more than 155 festivals, Jon has taken the stage everywhere from comedy clubs to The Moth Main Stage. His stories have aired on NPR, PBS, and top podcasts around the globe. He’s also contributed to two New York Times bestselling books (Occasional Magic and How to Tell a Story).
Whether you’re a beginner with no idea where to start or a performer looking to sharpen your craft, this 3–4 hour workshop will give you tools, confidence, and inspiration. Expect laughs, surprises, and maybe even a little magic.
What to bring: A laptop or pen and paper, plus (if you’d like) a short story idea you want to develop.
What you’ll leave with: Storytelling techniques, stronger performance skills, a new or improved story, and a big grin on your face.

Full Price: $100
