Who's the Grandest Storyteller of All? September 10, 2008

The Moth believes that everyone has a story.

The Moth created StorySLAM to give those stories a forum.

Since 2001, the raucous, moving, funny and wild quilt of themed stories that emerge during each SLAM has kept the crowds coming back again and again. StorySLAM provides a stage and a microphone, a theme to inspire and shape the evening, a lively and supportive audience, and a host to guide the festivities. Stories are limited to five minutes, and 10 stories are heard. The stories are scored by three teams of audience-member judges, and a winner is announced at every SLAM.

Then the SLAM winners face off in the semi-annual Moth GrandSLAM, hosted by McSweeney’s humorist Dan Kennedy.

That time has come.

Who will be crowned the next GrandSLAM Champion?
