Born in Pittsburgh, PA, Cotman is a self-described “traditional storyteller” who has read at venues across the country. His performances often include music, dance and song. Following a “do-it-yourself” mentality, he recently completed a 14-city tour by car through the Midwest, and is currently embarked on the 4-city “Southern Bard Tour.”

Cotman is the author of The Jack Daniels Sessions EP, a collection of myth-based stories told from an African-American perspective, many of them based on America’s dark racial history. The book is available through Six Gallery Press.

Chris Fox, a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, currently lives and works in Chapel Hill. Fox writes poetry, fiction, and jokes about time travel. He frequently hosts Late Night Standup at the DSI Comedy Theatre in Carrboro. He also performs regionally, including venues in Raleigh, Greensboro, and Boone.

Fox’s poetry has been published in Wavelength and Rosebud, and his fiction is available in The Bishop’s House Review, Slave, and the News and Observer.
