Welcome, Story-Lovers.

Raw. Real. Rewritten.


Fillet of Solo (FoS) is a showcase of Chicago’s rich and broad-ranging storytelling community. FoS presents bold, entertaining, revelatory performances from a wide range of perspectives. It hosts both solo artists and collectives. It features established artists as well as offering support and opportunity to new voices.


After 30 years as an annual storytelling festival, Fillet of Solo has transitioned to a weekly showcase at Bughouse Theater. We welcome the opportunity to gather more frequently, to process the times in which we live and to enjoy hot-off-the-presses stories.
