Kory May tells stories to make sense of the world. Since the world continues not to make sense, Kory continues to tell stories. For 2000+ consecutive nights (six years and running), he has done a nightly microcast, “Thoughts Too Big for My Head”. Kory performs twice monthly with TellersBridge, an Eastern Iowa storytelling collective and he has entertained audiences throughout the Midwest. He has stories and will travel.
