Story Slam: Hot Pursuit

At every show, after our Main Stage storytellers, we invite the audience to take part in a Story Slam where they can share their own 5 minute story on the night’s theme. (If the story is really rolling, people can sometimes squeak past the clock.) Our audience votes for the winner with the highly calibrated (not) Human Applause-O-Meter. The winner gets a gift certificate to Tacoma’s King’s Books.

We’ll offer another Story Slam at our September show,
“Take This Job And Shove It”.

But, you can’t participate if you don’t make it to the show!

These are *some* of the stories from our April show, “Hot Pursuit”. Not everyone tale makes it to the web – another reason to make the live show!
The stories below aren’t edited. These are people speaking in the moment, moved to reveal their lives to strangers.

Jim Kopriva, The Job That Wouldn’t Quit

A job doesn’t have to be terrible to want to shove it. Tacoma’s Jim Kopriva found out too much of a good job isn’t so good.

Enjoy a beverage as Jim and five other local storytellers share stories of work that went too far. Then, take the stage yourself with a true 5-minute story during the Slam portion of the show.
