Story Slam: Bristol Story Slam, where you can hear people's amazing true stories, told live on stage

Story Slam is a where you can hear people's amazing true stories, told live on stage. We believe that everyone has a great story, they just need a platform to tell it! Every event has a theme - anything from 'vices' to 'stranger in a strange land' - and all stories are told by volunteers from the audience. Put your name in the hat for a chance to tell your story, or just come along and enjoy everyone else's.

Next Sunday we have our last show of the season, when our theme will be smoke. 💨🔥 Stories about smoke, fire and fumes. The smoke from a cigarette, the smoke from a campfire, and smoke rising in the distance. The smell of smoke left on your clothes, smoking drugs in the back of the care, and that person who was smoking hot. The piece of evidence you found that was the smoking gun. The time your carefully laid plans went up in smoke, or the time you had to flee from a burning building.

The airbnb with a wood fuelled fireplace, the candle that was snuffed out. Incense, offerings and explosions. Burning the mid night oil, fumigating the house, and setting off a fleabomb. The flare you used to signal to rescuers, or the smoke gr***de you used to hide your movements..

Have you got a story about smoke? Then come share it with us, May 17th at The Wardrobe Theatre

EGGS EGGS EGGS! Perhaps one of the weirdest themes we've ever chosen, but it's one we've been wanting to do for ages. Come join us April 19th when we will be hearing stories of everything oval, crunchy and gooey. Chicken eggs, duck eggs, ostrich eggs, quail eggs, and human eggs. Eggs thrown at someone's house at Halloween, or one cracked on your head as a prank. Fried, scrambled, poached, devilled, hard boiled. Archaeological digs for dinosaur eggs, and pickled eggs and crisps at the pub. Eating too many Easter eggs and feeling sick and falling in the pond and getting covered in frogs spawn. Tadpolls, penguins, gulls, and birds of all kinds. The nest that fell out of the tree, and the incubator that let you watch it hatch. And stories about fertility, conception and retrievals. The healthcare system, the reproductive cycle and IVF. Ovaries, o***s and gametes. Parenthood, childhood, birth, death and rebirth again...

Have you got a story about eggs? The come share it with us, April 19th at The Wardrobe Theatre

Next month our theme is mother. Stories of motherhood, womanhood and childhood. Step mothers, adoptive mothers, and mothers in law. Being a mother, having a mother and all the life in between. The day you learnt you were going to be a mum, or the moment you realized your mum was once a child like you. Stories of birth, pregnancy and s*x. The joy, the fear and the strangeness of being a parent. And the joy and uncertainty of having one. Stories of nesting, flying the coop, and coming back home. The person who cared for you when you were small, or the person who was absent. The mother, the maiden, the crone. Family holidays, breastfeeding in public, or being a mother figure to someone else. Bringing something into existence, creating something cool or weird or new. The bird and the bees talk, your first day of school, and Mother's day. Shall I be mother..?

Have you got a story about mother? Then come tell us on 15th March

The people you might never know, the anonymous faces you pass on the street, the same people you might see day after day, but never speak with. The stranger who saved your life or the stranger that ruined it. Random acts of kindness, close encounters and the strangers that you now can't be separated from. The strange, the familiar and the normal people that make up the world around us. Have you got a story about a stranger? The come tell us February 15th at the Wardrobe Theatre
