Storytime is a night for story-tellers, writers, poets, musicians and all manner of lovely folk to share their stories. We are London's only weekly story-telling night.
It is curated by local writer Adam RW and the Storytime collective.
This Storytime will be hosted, for the very first time, by Kofi Achina.
If you’ve been to one of our nights in the past, you’ll know that Kofi is an incredible performer and all-round lovely human being. Very honoured that he has agreed to be one of very first new hosts.
Music
We will have live music at the beginning of the second half from the wonderful Babette.
Collective Line-Up
We will have collective readings from Eden Green, Maxine Meier, Tommy Scott, Angus Barrett and our new resident, Leo Flanagan.
Open Mic
The open mic will run through the night with names pulled from the hat as always. We will only have two open mic slots as we have a jam-packed night this time round.
There will be 1 open mic slot in the first half and 1 in the second half.
You will have 8 minutes if your name is pulled out.
Our open mic performers are a very important part of our night so slots are now paid - if your name is pulled out, you will have your ticket refunded, be paid £10 cash, and get a free drink.
Ticket Breakdown
Our tickets are now £8 plus Eventbrite fees. We have regrettably had to increase our prices to run the nights more sustainably - but we like to give you, our beloved collective, full transparency about where your ticket goes. Your £8 is split as follows:
£2.50 to the readers/open mic-ers
£2 to the host and door team
£1.50 to the visuals team
£2 to Storytime
This is calculated on the basis that we sell a good chunk of tickets. If we do not, it's Storytime that takes the hit - not our lovely readers.
