originally published: 08/04/2022


(FLEMINGTON, NJ) -- Flemington DIY presents Tell Us Everything! - Real People Telling Real Stories on Thursday, August 11 from 7:00pm-9:00pm. The storytellers include Joey Novick (the host of the night), John "Gemini" Lombardi, Christopher Korbel, Janet Quartarone, and Lily Asch.

This monthly storytelling features real people telling real stories. Real stories that are told, not read. Storytellers connect with the audience with no pages between them! The stories will make you laugh, make you think, and maybe even more...

If you’re inspired by the stories you hear, you’re invited to tell your own story for up to two minutes in Two Minute Tales at the end of the show.

Tickets are $10-$15 and available for purchase online. Tickets may also be purchased at the door. Flemington DIY is located at 26 Stangl Road in Flemington, New Jersey.

Joey Novick, Producer/Host, Joey Novick has been a political comedian, camp counselor, editorial director, attorney, busboy, radio show host, professional speaker, child actor and an elected official in New Jersey – but not necessarily in that order. He’s a professional stand-up comedian with appearances on MTV, Comedy Central and Rascal’s Comedy Hour. Joey has appeared at hundreds of comedy clubs across the US and Canada, and opened in concert at comedy clubs for Jerry Seinfeld, Robert Klein, David Brenner, Lewis Black, and Paul Reiser.
