About this Event
Some stories are better when they’re left unfinished.
Open Ended is a facilitated storytelling night where cliffhangers, messy moments, and unbelievable stories take centre stage. Throughout the evening, guests will be invited to share short stories that end on a cliffhanger — the kind that leaves everyone leaning in, asking, “wait… what happened next?”
The night blends a relaxed open mic with table conversation. Each table will receive prompts and story cards to spark conversation, encourage connection, and get the storytelling flowing among friends (and future friends).
Between open mic moments, you’ll have time to sip, mingle, and swap stories at your table — from hilarious dating disasters to unbelievable coincidences, hot gossip, and the kind of moments that sound almost too good to be true.
Throughout the evening, tables will choose their best cliffhanger story to nominate for the stage, where a few brave storytellers will share their moment with the room.
Expect:
• unexpected plot twists
• dramatic pauses
• confessions you probably shouldn’t repeat
• and the kind of stories that only happen when strangers loosen up over drinks.
Whether you're a natural storyteller or just here for the tea, Open Ended is a night for stories that refuse to wrap themselves up neatly.
Come for the drinks.
Stay for the cliffhangers.
All ticket sales are final.
