About this Event

If you’re not first, you’re last. Even if you’re not a Ricky Bobby fan, it’s true there always seems to be tension between this duo. Maybe you grew up the youngest of a family of seven who can never see eye-to-eye with the first-born, or the swimmer who is so dominant that she laps the slowpoke in Lane 2. Or sometimes you go through the motions so often that it all starts to blur together, but when you zoom out, you can’t believe how different the first time was versus the last time. For our November 7th show, we want to hear your stories about firsts or lasts, or firsts and lasts, whether that’s coming in dead last, or being a trailblazer.

Our First and Last StorySLAM is being held on Thursday, November 7th 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 First and Last.)
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!
