ABOUT THE SHOW

But That's Another Story is an online, monthly storytelling event to bring people together during these challenging times.

Canadian Comedy Award recipient Briane Nasimok and Canadian Comedy Award nominee Christel Bartelse have joined forces to showcase a wide array of Toronto's finest raconteurs!

​

Each evening will include a variety of styles (fables, indigenous tales, contemporary works, autobiographical observations, comic essays) from some of Toronto's most compelling tellers.  "But That's Another Story" is presented on the first Sunday of every month.

​

December's Tellers:

NASTAZJA PALONKA

Nastazja Palonka is still new to the art of storytelling, and is usually found backstage either stage-managing, producing or directing. She has stage managed at the Hamilton, Toronto and Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She can also be seen behind the director’s table, having worked on the HamilTEN, InspiraTO festival, and the Oakville One Acts.

GERARD HARRIS

Gerard Harris was a comedian and storyteller from the UK. He’s still alive (at the time of writing) but quit performing in January of this year, another example of being just so far ahead of his time

GAURAY MADAN

Gaurav Madan was born and brought up in New Delhi, India, and left home over nearly eight years ago to explore the world. In the process, he ran across India before he landed in Canada and started telling stories of adventures and experiments of his life and India's folklore. He's an Ocean and Climate Researcher in Oslo, Norway by day, and a storyteller by evening.

BRIANE NASIMOK

A current member of the Storytelling Toronto Board, his television credits range from YTV’s “Uh Oh” to MTV’s “Test Pattern”.  Briane had a previous career as a Canadian film star, which is why most people don’t know him.   He also has a website – brianenasimok.com.
