The ultimate storytelling competition, The Moth GrandSLAM invites winners from our open-mic StorySLAMs back to the stage for the CITY storytelling championship.
Apr 03 Thursday
The Moth StorySLAM is an open-mic storytelling competition in which anyone can share a true, personal, 5-minute story on the night's theme. Sign up for a chance to tell a story or sit back and enjoy the show! Tonight’s theme is…
ALL NIGHTER: Prepare a five-minute story about pushing through till morning. Marathon study sessions, slumber parties, or staying up until the witching hour. Burning the midnight oil, from wild parties to grueling shifts. Tell us what happens when the world goes to bed...and you’re still wide awake.
BLOOM: Prepare a five-minute story about growth. Rising from the concrete or blossoming late in life tell us about the journey to reach your full potential. From peaking early to flourishing after years of careful nurturing, bring us stories of new beginnings, perseverance, and those moments when everything finally came to fruition. April showers bring May flowers, but the path to blooming is rarely straightforward.

SMALL WORLD: Prepare a five-minute story about connections. From chance encounters to universal truths! Serendipity, synchronicity, or fate's twisted sense of humor. The fluke, the quirk. The happenstance that wreaks havoc or the lucky coincidence that saves the day. Of all the gins joints, in all the world…

ONLY IN DETROIT: Prepare a five-minute tale of events that transpired in your town that couldn’t happen elsewhere. Secret histories or local mysteries. Tourist traps or hidden gems. Your adventures to the notorious makeout spot, your segment in the local paper, or your run-in with the infamous mayor. The suburbs or the city, on top of a mountain or at the bottom of a valley, tell us about what makes Detroit, *DETROIT*.
May 20 Tuesday
DRAMA: Prepare a five-minute story about interpersonal grievances. Petty snubs or beef that runs deep. High school or housewives. Shocking declarations, explosive proclamations, and chilling accusations. Double lives, stolen girlfriends, affairs to remember, and secret families. When it all went up in flames in the group chat, at work, or at the family reunion. Go ahead: stir the pot and make some popcorn. Spill the tea and see what happens.
Jun 05 Thursday
HOSPITALITY: Cook up a five-minute story about the beauty and occasional chaos of saying, “Come on in.” Early mornings, late nights, clopening, or back-to-back doubles. Serving your crushtomer or the dread of the house guest that overstayed their welcome. Standing for 8 hours, remembering to smile, and only sometimes crying in the walk-in. Testing mettle and memory. Can I speak to the manager?
