Can I read a story?

This is a night for oral storytelling, so no reading or notes – just pure story! Great stories invite us in for a listen. They don’t always have to be funny by any means (but they can be!). We invite people to tell stories from the heart.

Not at all! The night is for both tellers and listeners, for without good listeners; there would be no good stories!

Stories can be true or fictional, should fit the theme, and should be a maximum of 9 – 10 mins long (shorter is fine).
