Next Storytelling Event: "Didn't See It Coming"
a night of true personal stories told live
When: Wednesday, May 24, 2023
Where: The Sound Room, 3022 Broadway, Oakland
Time: 6:30 doors, 7:30 showtime
Tickets - $20 online, $15 early bird online, $25 at-the-door
HOW THE SHOW WORKS:
StorySlam Oakland isn’t just a show, it’s a community of people who love to connect by sharing and hearing true stories. That includes you!
You are invited to tell your true story on the theme, “Didn't See It Coming”. Whatever that means to you.
Or just listen and laugh.
For a chance to tell your true story, put your name in the hat. Storytellers will be chosen at random.
We may also have one or two special guest storytellers.
StorySlam Rules:
Requested food / drink minimum: $10 per person.
The Sound Room is a nonprofit dedicated to Bay Area jazz, music and arts. It’s run by owners Karen and Robert with a small team. All we ask is that each person buys at least $10 worth of drinks or food at the show to support their efforts. You can order at the bar and be served at your seat or table.

StorySlam Rules:
- Stories must be about YOU (not your grandma, not some celebrity you met, etc.)
- Stories must be TRUE (believe me, we can tell if they're not)
- Length should be about 5 minutes or less. We'll have a volunteer timer to keep you to the time limit.
- Stories must be told aloud, not read and NO notes! Tell it just like you're telling friends around a dinner table.
- No pressure! Just have fun. We aren't doing voting this time. The hosts will note what stories seem to be the audience favorites. Those storytellers will be invited back another time for a 'Best Of' show in the future.
