UPDATE: Unfortunately, our 2020 season has been placed on hold since the Coronavirus Outbreak. All Story Slams are cancelled. If you purchased tickets for the May event, please contact Brown Paper Tickets for your refund. We’ll update once Story Slams can resume.

Thank you!

West Chester Story Slam is back!

We have partnered with Ten Stories Story Slam for the 2020 season.

If you want updates on upcoming events, sign up for our newsletter by clicking HERE.

Our Story Slams will once again take place on the second Tuesday of each month at Side Bar and Restaurant, located at 10 E. Gay Street. in West Chester, PA. Doors open at 7pm and we start telling stories at 8pm. 

Both West Chester Story Slam and Ten Stories share the basics: anyone can sign up to tell a story upon arrival. We pull up to ten names out of a hat to hear stories based on the theme of the night. Audience Judges determine a winner each night. Stories should be about five minutes in length. No notes, no props, no music. 

 What’s the difference? Not much really! 

WEST CHESTER STORY SLAM is just as you remember it. Stories are judged on a scale of 1 to 10. Stories are recorded and uploaded to YouTube. Check out the Rules page to learn more.

TEN STORIES STORY SLAM also has judges scoring stories on a scale of 1 to 10 to determine a winner, but at Ten Stories, the audience also votes for a second winner of the night as the “audience favorite.” Stories are not recorded.
