About this event

Dublin’s best storytellers return for one night only! 8 Story Slam Champions will share brand-new true stories, competing for the GrandSlam title. Funny, moving and totally real. Hosted by Colm O'Regan. Sunday 25 October, The Abbey Theatre.

The Dublin Story Slam is Dublin’s longest-running competitive open mic storytelling night. Every month, audience members take the stage to share a true personal story inspired by a theme, and judges in the crowd crown a Story Slam Champion. The GrandSlam is where those champions meet.

On Sunday 25 Oct, our reigning Story Slam Champions return with brand-new stories inspired by the theme, FEAR, competing for the title of GrandSlam Champion. There are no scripts and no actors, just ordinary people with extraordinary stories. Hosted by Comedian Colm O'Regan, it’s a night of laughter, surprises and real Dublin lives, told by the people who lived them.

Readers are advised to check with the organiser before relying on the details published here.
