The Storytellers Club

Imagine a cozy room full of strangers who, by the end of the night, feel like old friends.

That’s the magic of The Storytellers Club. We tell each other 5 minute stories, in the magical atmosphere of Cozy Place, surrounded by fiction books, with aromatic tea and pastries. Each time inspired by a new theme.

You don’t need to be a writer! Your story is enough.

How It Works

• Arrive and drop your name in the hat
• If you’re picked, you tell your story
• Or simply listen and enjoy

November theme: Lost in Translation

Whether it’s confidently butchering the language at the bakery, misreading social etiquette in a new country, or those hilarious culture clashes we all experience as expats. Stories about cultural clashes, language barriers, and the hilarious moments where two people thought they were on the same page, only to realize they were reading entirely different books. Mark your calendars for November for epic misunderstandings.

Come share your story, and hear others.

We believe everyone is made of stories — funny ones, tender ones, surprising ones, the small moments that stayed with us. Sharing them is an act of generosity and courage. When someone tells a story, they offer a piece of themselves to the room, and suddenly the room feels like home.

The only rule: Tell it, don’t read it — just as you would to a friend.
Prefer to listen? That’s perfect. Just relax and enjoy.
