This show is to add to the celebration that is Gainesville Pride. We want to bring together members of the LGBTQI+ community and allies for a night of supportive, celebratory, and powerful storytelling. This is our second time hosting this very special show.
This show will be at The Wooly, our beloved home for G&G GNV storytelling here in Gainesville.
Guts & Glory GNV's passion is to hold the space for stories of all shapes, sizes, and persuasions.
*Please note that this is not a commissioned show by Gainesville Pride. This is an independent Guts & Glory GNV event.
Pants on Fire
Who's telling the truth? You be the judge.
The Wooly - 20 North Main Street
Our "Pants on Fire" show features 3 storytellers, one who is lying and the 4th who is a fibber. The audience has to question the storytellers about their stories and crack the code! This time, we're infusing these wild stories with holiday magic to see if we can stump the storytellers or if they'll stump us!
This is one of our most popular shows. Come see what it's all about!
Unvarnished
a storytelling podcast in collaboration with WUFT.org

Why are human beings so obsessed with story?
Stories put us “in the middle of the action.” They connect us with each other through webs of vulnerability, woven through threads of empathy and shared experience.
Stories are revealing and healing.
Unvarnished is a podcast that brings together all the best things about storytelling. We feature the stories, but we also get the chance to meet and talk to the people behind them, and the lessons we can learn from them.
We know that being a person in this world can be ridiculous, painful, hilarious — and stories allow us to dive more deeply into the human spirit and look around for a while. It’s like eavesdropping at a bar or snooping around on your neighbors….except, we invited you.
I’m Taylor Williams, the Creative Director of Guts & Glory GNV, and your host for Unvarnished. Other than stories (OK, and maybe my kids and the beach and a fresh cucumber gimlet) I’m most obsessed with collaboration. So it’s my supreme pleasure to join with the fine people at WUFT, nestled into the College of Journalism and Communications at my alma mater, the University of Florida. This is a great community here, and we want to celebrate it.
We’re glad you joined us. Now it’s time for some: Real. Live. Stories. Enjoy!
