Chicago Unfiltered
About This Event
Big Shoulders, Real Stories.
Chicago Unfiltered is back to continue the Global Unfiltered movement in West Town for a night of live, unscripted storytelling.
Five speakers. Five minutes. Five stories. One shared experience. You will not see a lineup in advance. That is the point: Humor, heartbreak, identity, the thing someone finally decided to say out loud.
No slides, no pitches, no polish. Just Chicagoans telling the truth about their lives to a room that came to listen. Sandburg gave this city its big shoulders. We are handing it a microphone.
Thursday, November 12, 2026, 6:00 to 9:00 PM at Midwest Coast Brewing Company, 2137 W Walnut Street. Two drink tickets are included, along with a seat in a deliberately small room. Capacity is limited to 40 attendees, so grab yours early. Hosted by Chris Gray, alongside Shil Shanghavi and Global Unfiltered.
Come thirsty, come curious, and leave knowing five incredible people you would never have met otherwise.
