Lancaster Story Slam returns to Tellus360 on Tuesday, April 26th with the theme "Respect!" The storytelling begins promptly at 8pm, so we recommend arriving early to grab some food and a pint before securing a good seat. Grab your tickets now for quick entry. Click HERE.
Lancaster Story Slam is a live event where people take the stage with no notes or props and tell a 5 minute true story in front of a rowdy live audience. Some stories are hilarious, others are sad, but they all share aspects of the human experience. You can take the stage to tell your story, or simply hang out and watch with friends. If you want to tell a story, simply sign up upon arrival and we'll put your name in the hat.
What does the theme “Respect” mean?
We want to hear stories about earning respect and losing respect. How hard have you worked to earn the respect of someone you love? Maybe you respected a mentor who turned out to be a fraud. Perhaps you once had a job where you didn’t feel respected. A lack of respect is often a disastrous road that leads to messy divorces, quitting jobs, getting fired or even violence. Let's hear your story on "Respect!"
The winner of our "Respect" Story Slam will return in November to compete in the Lancaster Story Slam Grand Slam for the title of Best Storyteller in Lancaster!

Cliff Lewis won the 2015 GRAND SLAM! Cliff earned the title of Best Storyteller in Lancaster with his story of winning an epic high school rap battle.
The winning storytellers from throughout the season entertained the audience with some hilarious and touching stories on the theme of "Heroes." We heard stories about a nasty friend, an epic outdoorsmen, a shunned family member, and an educator willing to sacrifice her own life for children. There was a tale of a Lancaster artist who lived a simple and happy life, and about an ill man who jumped off a Philadelphia bridge and survived. We heard about surviving a marathon, winning a soccer game thanks to an oddly named teammate, and removing a curse inflicted from a playground boyfriend.
