Stewpot Story Slam

Talking Dirty After Dark is a live storytelling event where people share true stories from their personal experiences to a live audience. The stories are firsthand accounts and completely true, but please be aware that some colorful language may be used. The event takes place at the "Four Corners Brewing Co" part of the Stewpot open mic series, welcoming audience members as well as storytellers of all levels. Performers' names are drawn from a stewpot or hat, and each storyteller has 5 minutes to share a story based on the night's theme, with no notes allowed during the performance. It's an authentic, unfiltered, and captivating night that promises laughter, tears, and unforgettable connections.

Prompt:

Prepare a five minute story about a time when you had to “go through it to get through it.” Tell us about a moment when it felt like everything was going wrong, but you knew there was no turning back. You had to take the leap, fall forward, and trust that you’d eventually find your footing. Maybe you quit a really good job to pursue a passion, only to have things go completely sideways. Maybe you moved somewhere new without knowing the area or a single person. Maybe you said yes to something you had no idea how to do and had to figure it out on the fly. We want to hear about that moment when you were thrown into the deep end and had no choice but to keep moving forward.

Please note that not all performers who register may not have the opportunity to perform due to time constraints and every name is drawn at random. So every potential performer must get a ticket and check in at the front door. We would like to inform all performers that all of our shows are recorded on video, and these recordings may be used for promotional purposes or shared on our social media platforms. Therefore, performers must be comfortable with this arrangement before signing up.
