Each month, we bring together authors, bloggers, comedians, and performers to share fiction and nonfiction stories involving a theme object that could be found in a lost and found box. We’ve featured burlesque stars, magicians, Moth Grand Slam winners, actors, someone’s mom, and a ukulele player.

Nicole Dellert is a improviser/writer coming out of UCB. Her early twenties were spent gathering stories from 4 continents, usually as the result of poor decision making skills. Luckily her affinity for “getting dark” is counterbalanced by her love for a great burger. You can catch her performing in basements around town with improv indie teams “Jacuzzi”, “Re:Your Murder Plan”, “Legion of Doom” and indie sketch team “Aunt Jackie”. Or aimlessly wandering at UCB. She shares her regular epiphanies
