ABOUT US
Real people. Real stories. Unforgettable moments.
Guts & Glory GNV started in 2017 to give people a chance to put their real-life, comedic stories on stage in front of a live, ticketed audience. Guts & Glory provides coaching and curation, so that storytellers get the experience of getting up on stage with a piece of their lives, authentically theirs AND polished for the best audience on the planet. Storytelling connects people, even when they haven't had the same experience. Community and connection through laughter and meaning is a critical part of our mission.
We believe in the power of authentic, scripted storytelling—stories that make you laugh, cry, and see the world a little differently. Whether it’s a bold confession, a quiet revelation, or a surprise ending, our stage is a place to share stories that light us up! Our stories are funny, edgy, and typically have a healthy touch of sass.
Founded on the idea that everyone has a story worth telling, Guts & Glory hosts live events, workshops, and coaching sessions designed to help people find their voice and share it with courage. From first-time storytellers to seasoned speakers, we celebrate the hilariously messy, the wildly meaningful, and everything in between.

QUOTES FROM THE STAGE 〰️
“This is the ring you want, right?” With narrowed eyes locked in on the screen, she goes “Oh no, that’s ugly!” The crux of the entire proposal. The single piece of jewelry that she was going to wear everyday for the rest of her life. UGLY.”
