We are Singapore’s first monthly live story telling event that aims to give people a platform to share their lived experiences with others in an open and inclusive environment.

Each month, we set a theme, and put out a call for interested storytellers to share their real-life experiences with others based on that month’s theme.

We believe that everyone has a story to tell, so the format of our story slams encourages the open participation of people with no prior experience. Our eventual hope is that you will come and tell your story, then continue exploring that raw and authentic side of yourself through the power of the spoken art form.

Chee Seng

Chee Seng: Together, we are Story Slam Singapore.  We tell stories and kick ass.  Our storytellers come from everywhere: from hotel maids to business executives, from erotica authors to accountants.  That’s because our storytellers are you.  Everyone has a story to share, and we are just trying to spread the word.  Come listen to your fellow man.  And come tell your story.
