Story Club PGH Presents: Story Slam! (Ties That Bind)

Since 2022, it’s been our pleasure to partner with Story Club (created by the former producers of The Moth Pittsburgh) for their monthly nonfiction storytelling series, Story Slam. Together, we aim to showcase a diverse range of voices and create a space for stories that resonate across backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. Each month, we welcome open-mic storytellers to the stage to share six-minute tales that tackle a preselected theme. This November, Story Club PGH talks connections you just can’t shake with the Story Slam theme Ties That Bind. Each month, the top storyteller, as voted by viewers, will win a free City of Asylum t-shirt. Learn more here or sign up for an open mic slot at the slam. Not interested in storytelling but still want to participate? Try joining a judging team and help decide the winners instead! About the Host: Alan Olifson is an award-winning humor columnist and comedian and was the regular host of Pittsburgh’s monthly Moth StorySlams. He created the acclaimed storytelling series Wordplay at Bricolage Theater and now produces the new storytelling/talk show Speakeasy at Arcade Comedy Theater. His book, Manchild: My Life without Adult Supervision, from Six Gallery Press, is available wherever you buy books—hopefully somewhere local.
