Durango Diaries is The Durango Herald's in-person storytelling event.

Three local comics will share stories about how they got into the business and what it’s like to be funny.

Storytellers for this session include:
Wes Stein is the founder of Comedy Showcase Durango and the host of Next Best Comic of the Four Corners. He has produced shows with popular headliner comics, hosted and emceed events around the country and is featured on the album “Durango Is Funny” available on iTunes and Spotify.

Kate McLachlan is a comedian based out of Durango and is the winner of 2018's Next Best Comic of the Four Corners and the loser of Comedian's Power Hour, which is a drinking competition so it's not that big of a deal. She is a student and bartender, which makes her very unique in Durango.

Ryan McCardell hosts Laugh Therapy at the Irish Embassy, which was created in an effort to provide a therapeutic outlet for both performers and audience members to cope with the stress of life. He has also twice competed in the regional Next Best Comic of the Four Corners.
