We Still Like You is all about celebrating our shame. Founded in 2014 by Danii Gallegos, J Michael Osborne, Dan Sheehan, and Tyler Snodgrass, We Still Like You started as a house show. Each month, friends and strangers would gather in various apartments around Chicago to listen as performers shared stories of shame from their past. The show was always free, but in exchange, the audience was asked to forgive every performer for their misdeeds with a hearty chant of "We still like you!"
