The Dublin Story Slam is produced by Julien Clancy & hosted monthly by Colm O'Regan. The Dublin Story Slam was born in May 2017 and shares true personal stories from listeners through our Podcast, live events and social media. From the very start we were passionate about creating a Dublin space where people from all kinds of backgrounds can get together to share & listen to stories. We believe in the power of storytelling, the healing power, the bonding power and the lasting power of stories that can stun a room into complete silence and make it erupt into laughter a second later. However we also believe in the power of listening. It's incredible to witness the impact a receptive and warm audience can have on a nervous first time storyteller and watch how more confident and relaxed they become as they realise that the audience really wants to hear their story. It's this unique relationship between storyteller & audience that makes The Dublin Story Slam such a unique space for stories. Since the arrival of Covid 19, we have had to rethink how we share a lot of these stories with a live audience. In April 2020 we moved our monthly Story Slams over to Zoom. For each show we work closely with three storytellers to bring a selection of personal true stories that will hopefully distract, inspire & entertain our audience. We want our community to feel connected to each other while also welcoming new story lovers from overseas for the very first time. As scary and uncertain these days our, we also passionately believe that our best days are still ahead of us and hope you can be part of that journey too.
