The BROTH Story Slam
Our story slam invites audience members to tell five-minute true narratives based on the night's theme. The stories will be told live and without notes. Each teller will have a go at the Broth Applause-O-Meter. The event culminates in a special surprise finale. Our slam is inspired by the popular live event "The MOTH Storyslam", but we are not affiliated.
