TICKETS


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)! We'll provide light nibbles during the show and we'll be selling drink tickets both beforehand and on-site (cash or Venmo). We will also partner with local St. Clair vendors to offer merchandise for purchase before and after the show. 

We're excited for these changes and hope to see you at the next show! Please see our FAQs for more information about The Brownhoist.

  • 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.
