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 is…

SMALL WORLD: Prepare a five-minute story about connections. From chance encounters to universal truths! Serendipity, synchronicity, or fate's twisted sense of humor. The fluke, the quirk. The happenstance that wreaks havoc or the lucky coincidence that saves the day. Of all the gins joints, in all the world…

Doors Open: 6:00 PM

Show Starts: 7:00 PM

General Admission tickets for Berkeley StorySLAMs go on sale 3 weeks prior to the show date at 12PM PT. StorySLAMs nearly always sell out, so buy early. Please be sure to arrive at least 10 minutes before the show. For sold out shows, a limited number of Standing Room Only (SRO) tickets may be available. SRO tickets only become available after the show starts and are sold at full price. The SRO ticket line usually forms before the show starts. All sales final.

With support from KQED.
