About this Event
We’ve all had a moment when it feels like the world is burning down around us, where we’ve taken a step back, looked at the chaos surrounding us, and said to ourselves, “This is bats--t crazy.” Whether it’s a scenario that seemed to defy all logic, someone in your life whose cheese slid off their cracker, or a situation that drove YOU to the brink of insanity, we want to hear your stories. On Thursday, June 20th, step into the realm of the absurd, the outrageous, and the downright unbelievable for a night of bats--t crazy storytelling.
Our Bats--t Crazy StorySLAM is being held on Thursday, June 20th at Motorco Music Hall.
NOTE: If you have an interest in being a judge for this StorySLAM, for more information (Spoiler Alert: judges get FREE tickets!)
About The Monti StorySLAM (18 & up event)
The Monti StorySLAM is an open storytelling event, where anyone with a story on a certain theme has a chance to tell it. This is a competitive event, so there will be judges in the audience. At each event, there will be eight storytellers chosen at random; each story is five minutes long; one winner will be declared at the end of the night. Here's how you can tell your story:
- We publicize a theme (this show's theme is Bats--t Crazy.)
- You think, "Hey, I have a story that goes with that theme!"
- You buy a ticket.
- You practice your five-minute story at home and in your car.
- You show up and fill out a form stating that you would like to tell a story (NOTE: You DO NOT have to tell a story to attend. You can just sit back and enjoy the show.)
- During the show, we will pick names from a hat at random, one at a time, and each person called will have five minutes to tell their story.
- After eight stories have been told, one winner will be declared!
Winners from each StorySLAM will qualify for The Monti GrandSLAM in the Spring 2025. The GrandSLAM brings the winners back to compete for the ultimate title of The Monti GrandSLAMpion!
