What is a StorySLAM?
The Moth StorySLAM is an open-mic storytelling competition in which anyone can share a true, personal, 5‑minute story on the night’s theme. Sign up for a chance to tell a story or sit back and enjoy the show.
Tonight’s Theme
MAGIC: Prepare a five-minute story about enchantment. An “abracadabra” in your life that rebuffs logical explanation. The improbable, the impossible, the unbelievable come true — for better or worse. Great beauty, wild coincidence, or a woman sawed in half before your very eyes! Pick a card. Any card.
