Full lineup for 16th June! Pics from May's LIVE show & early bird perks

June 16th show is on! Click for tickets.

Thanks to everyone who came out for our May show. Between Oksana’s perseverance, Bhavika finding her voice, Dan’s funny reflections on his daughter’s social coup, Loxo Sanna’s thunderous melody, Rez’s surprise cage fight, and Donna’s ill-timed farewell to her beloved dad, the night reminded us why stories matter. Check out the photos below!

Happening June 2

Next DRAFT workshop is June 2nd: Think of DRAFT as open mic meets writers room — without the pressure! You bring 5 minutes of an early draft to share aloud. The other storytellers, listeners, and coaches offer helpful feedback, practical tips, and loads of encouragement. Prefer to just hang back and take it all in? Perfect - join us as a listener. See you on Monday 2nd of June. Storyteller slots are limited: sign up here!

We can’t wait to welcome you back to True Story and hope to see you soon.
