The Denver Moth - StorySLAM

Prepare a five-minute story about what's cookin'. The mouthwatering, the palatable or the burnt to a crisp. Takeout, delivery or microwaving a frozen dinner. Giving or taking orders and tempers that rival the heat of the open flame. From Grandma's secret recipe to Dad's killer barbecue, top ramen or top sirloin -- grab that apron or grab a plate. If you can't take the heat...

The Moth StorySLAMs are steadily spreading all over the map, gathering people and stories from all over the country. The Moth is open to anyone with a five-minute story to share on the night's posted theme. The brave of heart, or those with stories they're aching to tell, prepare personal, true tales. When the doors open, storyteller hopefuls put their names in The Moth Hat. A half hour later, names are picked, and one by one, storytellers take the stage. Each person has just five minutes! The ten featured stories are scored by teams of judges selected from the audience. Each StorySLAM generates a StorySLAM winner. After ten SLAMs, the winners face off in our GrandSLAM Championships. Come sign up to tell a story, or just enjoy the show!
