About Bex Frucht
Bex Frucht is a self-ascribed “Tumbleweed Queen” whose eclectic personal and professional journey has taken her from the red carpet to the Rocky Mountains. As a Story Wrangler, Bex produces community story shows, coaches individuals to share their experiences, and helps organizations craft compelling narratives. A seasoned performer, Bex was a host, writer, and producer for POPSUGAR, anchoring both their daily cable show and weekly online series. But Bex’s real true love is storytelling. After successfully oversharing onstage at hit shows such as The Moth (she performed all over LA and won the Denver StorySlam), she created her own wild storytelling showcase TMI Live! as well as the advocacy story series Unplanned Story Party, both entertaining sold-out crowds in LA and Bozeman. She's lucky to call the funky river town of Livingston, MT, home where she floats the Yellowstone with her “Mantana” Kyle Joe, chases their muppet dog Zucca, and spoons their kitties Aldo & Waldo. Bex also starred in a rad Verge Theater virtual play about air guitar and moonlights as an amateur cowgirl, karaoke professional, rainbow influencer, and unicorn believer.
