Frequently asked questions

1. What is What’s Your Story Slam?

What’s Your Story Slam is a live storytelling competition where everyday people share personal, 5-6 minute stories. It’s a night of real, raw, and often funny or heartfelt stories told directly from the heart—no notes, no scripts.

2. Who can attend?

Anyone! Whether you’re coming to tell a story, support a friend, or simply enjoy a unique night out, all are welcome. Just grab a ticket and join us!

3. How can I sign up to tell a story?

If you’re interested in being a storyteller, apply here: https://bit.ly/WYSS2025SG. Each storyteller must pitch their story idea at least a month before the event. Anna Ong, our creative director, will work with you to shape it into a compelling performance.

4. What kind of stories do you accept?

Stories must be personal and true, with you as one of the main characters. They should have stakes—something to win, lose, or learn—and avoid anything journalistic or scripted. Check our “Storytelling Tips” for more details.

5. Do I need to memorise my story?

Yes! We encourage storytellers to be deeply familiar with their story rather than reading from notes or a script. The goal is to connect with the audience directly.

6. Can I tell a story if I’ve never performed before?

Absolutely! We welcome everyone, from first-timers to seasoned storytellers. Anna provides coaching for each selected storyteller to help them feel confident and ready for the stage.

7. How are winners chosen?

The audience votes for their top three favourite stories of the night. The storyteller with the most votes at the end wins!

8. Is there a theme for each event?

Yes, each month’s event has a unique theme (e.g., In Honour of Her, Plot Twist, The Great Escape). The theme helps guide the stories but is open to interpretation.

9. What should I avoid in my story?

Avoid motivational speeches, stand-up routines, rants, or pitches. We’re looking for real, engaging stories with heart. Please also avoid key takeaways—let the audience find their own meaning.

10. Do I need to have my story reviewed by someone?

Yes, all stories are reviewed by Anna Ong, who helps refine each one for the event. This ensures that every story is engaging and fits the spirit of What’s Your Story Slam.

11. Can I bring friends and family to support me?

Of course! We encourage storytellers to bring their own cheering section. The more, the merrier!

12. What if I just want to attend as an audience member?

Perfect! Audience members are essential—they set the energy and help choose the winner. Grab a ticket, sit back, and enjoy the show.

13. What makes What’s Your Story Slam different from a comedy or poetry night?

What’s Your Story Slam is focused on authentic, personal storytelling rather than scripted or performed content. Each story is true, personal, and deeply engaging, making for a unique experience.

14. What happens if I go over time?

Each storyteller is encouraged to keep their story to 5-6 minutes. If a story goes longer, a gentle time cue will be given to wrap it up.
