Josh Kornbluth has been performing his autobiographical monologues for theater audiences all over the U.S. (and in other countries as well) for year. His show RED DIAPER BABY ran Off-Broadway, was selected for the Best American Plays of 1992 collection, was nominated for a Drama Desk Award, and was made into a performance film for the Sundance Channel. His monologue THE MATHEMATICS OF CHANGE was also made into a performance film. His shows HAIKU TUNNEL and LOVE & TAXES have both been adapted into feature films by Josh and his brother Jacob: HAIKU was accepted into the Sundance Film Festival and was distributed nationally by Sony Pictures Classics. Since January 2017 he has been an Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health at the Global Brain Health Institute, where he produces the “Citizen Brain” series of online videos; he also served a stint as Hellman Visiting Artist at UCSF’s Memory and Aging Center. Throughout his career, Josh has done numerous benefit performances for organizations that focus on supporting people of color, low-income folks, the LGBTQ+ community, and other marginalized groups. He lives in Berkeley, Calif., with his wife, Sara, a public schoolteacher; their son, Guthrie, a budding filmmaker, is an undergraduate at UC Santa Cruz.

TL;DR

Brian wants you to go out and hear live events more often.

He’s built a free tool for you to use.

The Bay Area has an amazing live music and event scene — and so does Santa Cruz, just over the hill. Don’t sit at home, don’t go to the same-old, GET OUT THERE.

This is a very inclusive list of over 400 sources and venues across the bay area and Santa Cruz County, and all their events.

Now more than ever. Go connect with humans.
