SO, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED

Six people tell a true story.

So, This Is What Happened is back! Our popular storytelling night returns.

Connection is more important than ever, so we invite you to laugh, cry and celebrate stories from the lives of real people.

JULY STORYTELLERS:

Patrick Baron

Patrick is a London-based therapist, offers a unique blend of practical therapy and mindfulness. His results-focused approach is grounded in Buddhist principles and meditation. His fluency in French, a result of his upbringing in the South of France, adds another dimension to his practice. His diverse professional background, encompassing recruitment, management development, and change management, provides him with a deep understanding of human dynamics. A passionate traveler and photographer, Patrick's inquisitive nature drives his exploration of both the external world and the inner workings of the mind.

Sudeshna Choudhury 

Sudeshna developed a deep love of  storytelling froman early age listening to her mother who was a wonderful storyteller, as well as her own keen observation of life around her, and the unusual childhood experiences growing up in Uganda where her extraordinary artistic parents took her on exciting wildlife safari adventures during the school holidays,not to mention surviving many life and death situations during the turbulent political years that followed.

Sudeshna is currently creating a storytelling podcast to be released later this year, encouraging us to capture our family history from our elders before it’s too late and inspire the younger generations.

An interesting fact: Abi loves sourcing essential oils and learning their traditional uses directly from local harvesters and communities across Africa.

Milo Warshaw

Milo's path has taken him from theatre stages to sustainability and social impact, where he's spent the last 5 years helping organisations tackle complex social and environmental challenges. Outside of work, he volunteers with refugees and children and has a tendency to follow his curiosity wherever it leads. This has resulted in a number of unusual experiences, one of which he'll be sharing with us on 3rd July.

Martha McBrier

Martha is a Scot who is obsessed with true storytelling.   As a Glaswegian she comes from a culture of telling your life story to someone at a bus stop.   She moved to London in 2010 and was astonished not to have this same  experience at London bus stops, and certainly not on the tube.   Her favourite night out in London is a storytelling show followed by the chippy.
