His stories have been featured on the Moth Radio Hour national radio broadcast and podcast. He's performed at the Laugh Factory, City Winery, and other Chicago venues. He's performed with Piven Theater, Tellin' Tales Theater, the Evanston Storytelling Festival, This Much Is True, Story Sessions, You're Being Ridiculous, First Person Live, Story Jam, Story Club, Truth or Lie, Tenx9, and other storytelling shows in Chicago.

Lee Melchior is new to storytelling, but she has been listening to stories all her life: first to the stories of the Mississippi River Valley, then as a peace activist living in Canada, an inn keeper on the Dutch Caribbean island of Saba then back to the states as a communication consultant in New York and Chicago. Lee just graduated from a career as an executive coach working with clients from the UK to Dubai to China. She is now opening her Third Act. So far she has consulted on story creation, joined in on a podcast and told stories at This Much is True, Truth or Lie Reading Series, The Back Room, Story Lab, The Moth and Do Not Submits (from Evanston to Homewood). She has welcomed new tellers to the mobile storytelling stage, Sydney, in Lincoln Square and hosts a story rug at Evanston Farmers’ Market.
