The Dublin Story Slam

The Dublin Story Slam is an open mic competitive storytelling night hosted monthly by comedians Sharon Mannion and Colm O’Regan which is all about celebrating the everyday experiences that come to shape who we are, as well as those extraordinary moments that have defined us.

This month's theme is Family and we’re looking for stories inspired by the ties that bind. From deciding to start a family, being part of a loving one or doing your best to avoid yours, we want to hear from you. Family legends, family traditions, from being the black sheep in your family to being completely lost without them. Or perhaps your family are your friends, a sister from another mister or a brother from another mother. No matter what the relationships with your relations are like, join our storytelling family this month  with The Dublin Story Slam.

Over the past seven years nearly a thousand storytellers have taken to the stage to share true personal stories inspired by different themes – for many, it’s their first time ever speaking publicly – and thousands have attended sold out events or listened to the Dublin Story Slam Podcast.

From stories of love and danger to stories about family, relationships, conflict and resolutions, any kind of story is welcome as long as it’s true and personal.
