The Dublin Story Slam is produced by Julien Clancy & hosted monthly by Comedians Colm O'Regan and Sharon Mannion. The Dublin Story Slam was born in May 2017 and shares true personal stories from listeners through our Podcast, live events and social media. From the very start we were passionate about creating a Dublin space where people from all kinds of backgrounds can get together to share & listen to stories. We believe in the power of storytelling, the healing power, the bonding power and the lasting power of stories that can stun a room into complete silence and make it erupt into laughter a second later. However we also believe in the power of listening. It's incredible to witness the impact a receptive and warm audience can have on a nervous first time storyteller and watch how more confident and relaxed they become as they realise that the audience really wants to hear their story. It's this unique relationship between storyteller & audience that makes The Dublin Story Slam such a unique space for stories.
