Story Club Cleveland is a charitable open mic for stories and has been operating in Cleveland since 2016. It is one of the many Story Club shows that has existed since Story Club was founded in Chicago in 2008 (check out Story Club Pittsburgh!).
We're excited to announce that our show is on a new night (Friday) and at a new venue (The Brownhoist)! Please see our FAQs for more information about The Brownhoist.
Story Club has been featured on WKSU's The Sound of Ideas, Spectrum News Ohio, Cleveland.com, Crain's Cleveland, 106.5 The Lake, and we were voted the Best New Bar Event by Thrillist Cleveland!
How it Works:
- There are 3 open mic slots per show. Open mic participants are given 8 minutes (1300 words) in which to tell a true story. If more than 3 storytellers sign up we draw names for the slots.
- There are 2 featured performers for each show, who provide producers with drafts of their stories and are paid for their work. Want to be featured? Come see the show, and then email a true story (1600 words max) to dana@storyclubcleveland.com for consideration.
- The audience votes for their favorite story and the winner receives a coveted microphone trophy!
- $15 tickets before hand ($20 at the door) helps to support charity AND pays our performers! We donate 100% of our profits to charity.
- Since December 2016 we've raised over $15,000 for local charities that support individuals and families in vulnerable communities. We are a proud fiscal sponsee of nonprofit The Reading Room CLE.
