The Dublin Story Slam will invite 6 of our reigning Story Slam Champions back to the biggest stage of their life, as they compete for the title of GrandSlam Champion with new stories inspired by the theme, Strangers.

From stories about the random people we meet during the daily grind to those unforgettable characters we met travelling the world. Stories about the kindness of strangers at work, at school or even on the street, to funny warm and unforgettable stories about meeting our loved ones for the very first time. This December we’ll celebrate the temporary and permanent strangers, who’ve gone on to shape who we are today.

Hosted by comedian Sharon Mannion, the Grand Slam celebrates the power of personal stories for one unforgettable night, where we might arrive as strangers, but leave as friends.

The Dublin Story Slam returns to the Abbey Theatre this December
