Bangkok Storytelling Collective | "Moth Night"

NEW VENUE - We'll be on the 2nd floor of The Royal Oak this month

Love a good story? So do we.

Join us for a cozy night of live storytelling and listening, inspired by The Moth, the beloved U.S. nonprofit that champions fostering human connection through storytelling.
Check out some of their performers here.

Our community is quite diverse in age, gender, sexuality, culture & background. Like The Moth, our goal is to connect authentically and build a community centered on shared human experience.
We meet once a month, first to warm up with some casual on-the-spot storytelling games, then get settled in for prepared performances.

All stories (both casual and prepared) follow The Moth's style:
🔹 True, personal and told in the first person
🔹 No longer than 5 minutes long
🔹 Told from memory (no reading)
🔹 Themed around emotion, vulnerability & self-growth

Prefer to just listen?

Perfect. We're looking for eager storytellers and story-listeners! Every storyteller needs a kind, curious, and responsive audience. Your presence matters!

Whether you’re ready for 5 minutes of fame or just want to soak in others’ stories, you’ll be part of a welcoming, vibrant community built around laughter, reflection, and human connection.

Ready to take the leap?

If you do wish to prepare a 5 minute story in advance, please review The Moth's storytelling advice and this month's theme. Also, make sure to message me (Shaf, the organizer) and I'll talk you through some guidelines. Here's this month's theme:

***

RUSH
Prepare a five-minute story about racing to destinations or racing your heart. The thrill of capitalizing on the last chance to submit your work, meet your love, or simply to save the day! Hurried projects that get sloppy due to deadlines, or writer's block that is cured by the need for speed. How has your sprinting, rallying and blood pressure surging served you in the long run?
