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 him to becoming a storyteller and a poet. His most memorable show is this one time when he read his poems at the Logan Square Skate Park under the freeway in between punk bands setting up equipment.

Join Jitesh and our other phenomenal readers on Tuesday, June 2, 2026 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.
