The show is hosted by the incredibly talented comedian Shawn Carter — a true powerhouse in the comedy scene. With years of experience, a unique comedic style, and an ability to keep audiences laughing all night, Shawn is known for creating an atmosphere where everyone feels at home, whether you’re on stage or in the crowd.

As the air turns crisp and the days grow golden, autumn invites us to slow down, reflect, and dig deep. Bonfires & Plotlines is a creative writing workshop designed to harness the evocative spirit of fall-its warmth, nostalgia, decay, and transformation-as fuel for rich, emotionally resonant storytelling.
Whether you're crafting fiction, memoir, or lyrical prose, this class encourages you to write from the core of your experiences and imagination. Each week, we'll gather around the metaphorical bonfire to explore seasonal themes-change, memory, letting go, and inner fire-through writing prompts, guided discussions, and supportive peer feedback.
Expect cozy vibes, and a renewed sense of connection to your voice, your stories, and the natural rhythm of your creative process.
All levels welcome. Bring a notebook, your favorite pen, and a readiness to write from the heart.

3 classes - September 18th & 25th, and October 2nd

ETSU employees may use employee audit.

Listen to tales of bravery and give thanks to those who work to keep us safe at the latest edition of the StoryTown Radio Show on Monday, September 22nd at 7:00 pm at the McKinney Center.

StoryTown performs in the format of a live, old-time radio show complete with sound effects, musical underscoring, live skits, and a great musical guest. This month’s show is titled “Ode to the First Responders.” We’ll be sharing stories of selfless bravery from Hurricane Helene and the local recovery efforts; rescue helicopter pilots, nurses, and more. Joining the cast this month are the David Crockett High School Madrigal Singers under the direction of Kelly Davenport. We’ll also have storyteller Jennifer Armstrong with us. Tickets are only $10 and available online at Jonesborough.com/tickets or by calling the Historic Jonesborough Visitors Center at 423-753-1010.

The Radio Show is recorded for broadcast on local NPR station WETS 89.5 out of Johnson City, which can be heard the last Wednesday of the month at 8PM. StoryTown is sponsored by the Tennessee Arts Commission, Gary and Sandee Degner, Trivia with Budds, McLeod Organics, the Wild Women of Jonesborough, and Wolfe Development.

Bristol Buzz was born from a simple idea: to make art—together.
Bristol has always been a
place for bold, original voices. Let’s carry on that legacy by creating something greater than
ourselves. When we support each other, we all move closer to our individual goals.

There are plenty of open mics around the Tri-Cities, but at Blue Ridge Comedy Club, we’re
focused on more than just stage time—we’re building a community. Our stage is your stage.
Come perform in front of fellow creatives you might never meet otherwise. All acts are welcome
(I.e. Comedy, Music, Dancing, Juggling, etc.)
