GrandSLAM 2025

This is the night we’ve all been waiting for: the GrandSLAM! Every storytelling contestant has proven their chops by previously winning “Best Storyteller” at one of our monthly open-mic themed StorySLAM shows. We’ve invited them all back for the ultimate storytelling competition.

Audience choice

Tonight, only one person will walk away wearing the GrandSLAM crown. So bring yourself and a friend. Get goosebumps. Lean in. Crack up. Cringe. Expect these storytellers to push your buttons and emotions alike. Lastly, vote with your heart who deserves the title 2025 Champion Storyteller. 

Wild card

To add intensity to intrigue, anyone (maybe you?) who prepares a 5 minute true personal story may add their name to Frank (the hat) when doors open at 7 PM. If their name is drawn, they’ll join the line-up of monthly winners to vie for GrandSLAM Story Champion.

The contenders

• Philip Schläfli — Jan. winner & Mar. co-winner
• Kate Ohbaidze — Feb. winner
• Alex Hallett — Mar. co-winner
• Brent Reiber — Apr. winner
• Rodo Guadarrama — Sept. winner
• Wild Card draw
