STORYSLAM: SUMMER NIGHTS
COME SHARE AND LISTEN TO STORIES

Zurich Storytellers StorySLAM is an open-mic storytelling show in which anyone can share a true, personal, 5-minute story on the night's theme.

Drop your name in the hat for a chance to tell a story or sit back and enjoy the show!

LAST SHOW BEFORE SUMMER BREAK 😎

To start an endless summer in a perfect frame of mind, the theme is SUMMER NIGHTS.

Let your emotions be inflamed by stories of romance, intrigue, jealousy, mischief and myriad mysteries hiding under ink-black starry nights. Featured and other local storytellers are sure to blow up the room after doors open at 19:00, Thur. 4th of July. Skip the queue by reserving your seat(s) on EventFrog.

DAMN THE TORPEDOES! 🚀

We’re anticipating true tales recalling blissful nights when love and lust - danger even! saturated the air, compelling us to do things we never expected - and the consequences? Damn the torpedoes!

"Summer is a great time for stories: there’s something about the bright sun, the long days, and the warm nights that just calls out for adventure." — Holly Black, novelist

FEATURED STORYTELLERS ⭐️

Anyone is welcome to add their name to our story-sorting hat for a chance to tell a 5-min personal story on our L200 stage and feel the love of our hometown audience. But each month we also invite storytellers who have crushed it at a past StorySLAM to entertain us with a new story on the night’s theme.

Invites have gone out - who will heed the call with a SUMMER NIGHTS story this month? Can’t wait? Check out videos of past Storyteller winners on our Wall of Fame.

STORYTELLERS WORKSHOP 25 JULY 🛠
Normally we host Storyteller Workshops in spring and winter. But recent SLAM shows have radically benefited from storytellers who completed our workshops (some have even won Best Storyteller of the Month!). So if you are keen to upskill your storytelling chops, sign up for “How To Tell Great Stories,” July 25th, after work. Price, programme and take-aways can be found in the workshop page.

L200 Event Space Langstrasse 200, 8005 Zurich

A SIMPLIFIED GUIDE FOR DESIGNING YOUR STORY
  1. Define a character (probably yourself;-) How were you feeling at that moment? Confident, lonely, conflicted, anxious, stressed, in lust or love?
  2. Where are you? Home, work, sunset, on the street, hotel, hiking in the mountains?
  3. What’s at stake? Career, security, peace of mind, redemption, future happiness?
  4. What was the crisis or conflict that triggered that moment for you?
  5. How did it work out? Did it make you happy, joyful, and peaceful or are you sad, resentful, and filled with remorse? Bring us full circle and share your beautiful truth as you are now.
