Spontaneous Storytelling SF at Slate

Do you have funny or amazing stories from your life?
Do you enjoy true storytelling, along the lines of "The Moth"?
Do you want to meet new people without stupid apps?
Do you just want to listen and laugh?

Spontaneous Storytelling is a different kind of storytelling show that combines the fun of meeting new people with hearing and telling true stories.

Every person who tells a true story, wins a free drink ticket!

How it works:

The event starts with a fun icebreaker game, then we select topics, then we take turns telling stories until we run out of time.

When you come in, grab a game card and a pen.

The object of the game is to meet as many people as possible and learn something interesting about them as you go. The answers become part of the show.

It's anonymous, so feel free to be outrageously truthful.

Next, put your name in the hat if you want to tell a true, five-minute story on any of the topics. It's called Spontaneous Storytelling because we don't practice beforehand!

The Rules: no reading or notes allowed; stories must be true, about you, and five minutes or less. We'll have a volunteer to help you stick to the time limit.

I repeat, you win a free drink ticket just for telling a story. It doesn't even have to be a good story! But it has to be true and about you.

Playing the icebreaker game is optional.

Telling a true story on stage is optional.

Having fun is not optional!
