The Moth Chicago StorySLAM: ONLY IN CHICAGO

  • The Den Theatre 1331 North Milwaukee Avenue Chicago, IL, 60622 United States (map)

Presented by The Moth

The Moth StorySLAM is an open-mic storytelling competition in which anyone can share a true, personal, 5-minute story on the night's theme. Sign up for a chance to tell a story or sit back and enjoy the show! Tonight’s theme is…


ONLY IN CHICAGO: Prepare a five-minute tale of events that transpired in your town that couldn’t happen elsewhere. Secret histories or local mysteries. Tourist traps or hidden gems. Your adventures to the notorious makeout spot, your segment in the local paper, or your run-in with the infamous mayor. The suburbs or the city, on top of a mountain or at the bottom of a valley, tell us about what makes Chicago, *CHICAGO*.

Tickets for Chicago StorySLAMs go on sale 3 weeks prior to the show date at 2 PM CT. 

Seating is not guaranteed and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please be sure to arrive at least 10 minutes before the show. Admission is not guaranteed for late arrivals. All sales final. As many as 10 tickets may be available at the door for all of our StorySLAMs on a first-come, first-served basis.

Tickets are available to the public on April 24th.

With special thanks to our sponsor, WBEZ.
