“Live Bait: True Stories from Real People” kicks off its eleventh season with an all-new, never-before-used theme: Chicken. Have you played chicken? Eaten chicken? Raised chickens? Chickened out? What are you afraid of?

If you have a true story that in any way, shape or form fits October’s theme, come to Live Bait, put your name in the fishbowl and, when your name is called, come up and tell it. Remember, please: no notes, rants, pointless ramblings, or stand-up routines, and there is a six-minute time limit. Of course, all are more than welcome to simply sit back and listen.

(Bwak Bwak Bwaaak!)

Live Bait is hosted by Phil Goldman, with banter, musical accompaniment and monthly theme song by Jerry “The Professor” Gregoire.
