Meet the Readers: Jitesh Jaggi

Jitesh Jaggi ended his career in finance one day when he lost all his data that he forgot to save on an Excel sheet and realized that he just didn’t care. That tipping point led to him becoming a storyteller. He is a four-time The Moth StorySlam winner and his stories were recently featured on NPR where they butchered his name but he swears that was him. Jitesh has read his poems in Mumbai, Paris, and Chicago, including one time at the seedy Logan Square Skate Park — under the highway — in between punk bands setting up equipment. He loves writing bios because he can refer to himself in the third person. Ask Jitesh about his one-man show Suitcase Stories returning in Fall 2024.

Please join Jitesh and our other fantastic readers on Tuesday, August 6, 2024 in the upstairs bar at Hopleaf. Doors open at 7pm, and the show starts at 7:30. It's free, and 21-and-over. Please RSVP on Facebook.
