Tampa Fringe has carved out a nice year-round home for itself in Ybor City, and this fall the Fringe Theatre presents “A Brief History of Beer,” a sci-fi sketch comedy where theatergoers take a trip on the Quantum Pint Machine. This is one where you probably won’t get kicked out for being wasted.

And if you need Fringe now, the theater recently launched its first storytelling open mic, “Shameless Stories with Trish Parry,” on second Wednesdays.

This fall adds two new storytelling events to the theater calendar. Tuesday night variety open mics are already in session, 7:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m. and Walt Belcher hosts a monthly storytelling event for anyone 50 years old and up, appropriately called “BoomerTown,” starting this Sun., Aug. 27, and every Sunday afterward, 4 p.m.-6 p.m.
