Raw, real storytelling nights — the first Thursday of every month in Auckland. No notes, no slides, just true stories told live.
Netflix isn't going to make you snort wine out your nose. This might. A room full of strangers. Eight gloriously true personal stories. Each night at StoryLab Aotearoa up to eight storytellers speak for ten minutes each on that night's theme. No notes, no powerpoints — just raw, personal, real stories. Afterwards people stay to chat, connect and tell a few more (informal) stories before the night wraps up. It's a great way to learn more about old friends — and meet new ones.
StoryLab runs the first Thursday of every month at 7:00pm at Crave Café,
6 Morningside Drive, Morningside — cravecafe.co.nz. There's parking in nearby streets and Morningside Train Station is a minute's walk away.
"It was so incredible, we were so moved, so inspired — we've had such great conversations on the way home from the stories shared."
"I went for the first time to the June show, it was FABULOUS! Beautiful stories, terrific tellers and just a wonderful night of connection."
First Thursday of every month, 7:00pm.
