Story Pirates

What makes Story Pirates truly special? Kids are the stars, literally. Featuring Eric from the hit The Story Pirates Podcast (100+ million downloads and counting!) and a crew of wildly funny performers, this show mixes improv comedy, music, and kid-created stories into one unforgettable experience. The Story Pirates have one big mission: to prove that all kids are creative geniuses. Because the show is based off the ideas of kids in the audience, no two performances are ever the same. 


Story Pirates Live

If your family already listens to The Story Pirates Podcast, you know the magic. If not, get ready for something spectacular. The award-winning podcast transforms stories written by kids into hilarious sketches and catchy songs, often featuring celebrity guests like Kristen Bell, John Oliver, Sara Bareilles, and Seth Meyers. But the fun doesn’t stop there. Story Pirates also create awesome podcasts (including ones with Stephen Curry and Questlove!), write books and music your kids will actually want on repeat, star in a PBS show (The Story Pirates Present: SPTV) and run a nonprofit bringing creativity and literacy programs to kids everywhere. Basically… they’re kind of a big deal in the kid-creativity world.
