The month of December brings a family reunion of sorts to the Hopleaf, as all four core members of This Much is True will be in town to share their stories. To add to the excitement, the Hopleaf has rolled out some fine holiday brews, and it is now appropriate to wear that Snowman sweater you have been itching to try on.
To top it all off, our special guests for December are gifts we cannot wait for you to open: Moth Slam host Don Hall; travel & arts writer Victoria Cunha; and Sunday Night Sex Show’s Samantha Irby.
‘Tis the season to join your friends, grab a beer, and listen to some great stories.

Samantha Irby
Samantha Irby is a total idiot who somehow has not only only convinced thousands of people to read her blog vomit, she also sometimes can get them to put on real pants to come out and hear her stupid dick jokes live. You can find her on the internet at bitchesgottaeat.com and irbyandian.com, and see her on the last Sunday of every month as co-host of the Sunday Night Sex Show, a literary reading series that focuses on true stories about sex and sexuality. She is a large testicle aficionado.
