StorySLAM: THE OTHER SIDE

WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW WAS ONLY HALF OF THE STORY?

Somewhere between the familiar and the unknown lies The Other Side. The place where things aren't quite what they seem, where reality takes an unexpected turn, and where the line between ordinary and extraordinary gets a little blurry.

On October 29, Zurich Storytellers invites you to cross over for a special Halloween edition of our StorySLAM.

DO YOU HAVE A STORY FROM THE OTHER SIDE?

Have you ever experienced something you couldn't explain? Discovered a side of someone you never knew existed? Crossed a line, entered unfamiliar territory, or found yourself on the other side of a life-changing moment?

Whether your story is spooky, funny, surprising, or deeply personal, we want to hear it.

HOW DOES STORYSLAM WORK?

StorySLAM is an open-mic storytelling night where anyone can take the stage to share a true, personal story in 5–7 minutes, inspired by the evening's theme.

No notes, no slides, no scripts. Just you, your story, and an audience ready to listen.

Want to tell a story? Put your name in the hat on the night. Prefer to listen? Come along, enjoy the stories, and help us choose the evening's favourite storyteller.

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL 👻

This time, we're inviting you to bring more than just your stories. Costumes are very welcome!

Come as your alter ego, your darker half, or something straight from the other side. We'll be awarding a ticket to our GrandSLAM to the best costume of the night!

See you on the other side!
