About us
The best way to get to know someone is to listen to their stories. Everyone has a story even if they think they don’t, once a month, a random, eclectic, curious group of people gather to listen to these first-person stories told in an intimate setting.
While it is sort of like The Moth—we do want first-person stories that are short in length—we give you a few extra minutes (stories should be 7-10 min) and there is no competition or scoring. You should expect a friendly and welcoming audience sipping Vermut or herbal tea while they share in the vulnerable moments of life. We usually have 10 storytellers. There is also an intermission which offers everyone a chance to socialize.
We welcome everyone. Listeners. Storytellers. And people who have never told a story on stage but have an itch to try. Please join us.

Storytelling Barcelona – "Confessions"
El Noa Noa, Carrer de Villarroel 71, Eixample 08015, Barcelona, ESOur theme for May is CONFESSIONS!
Truths spoken aloud. Truths written and never sent. Truths confessed too late—or too early.
Give us stories of secrets revealed, apologies offered, feelings admitted, and words that changed the course of things. Confessions made out of love, fear, guilt, or necessity.
As always, interpret the theme freely.
📍 Where: Café El Noa Noa, C/Villarroel 71, Eixample
🕢 When: Wednesday, May 27th
Time: Doors at 19:00 — Stories from 19:30 to 21:30
💶 Free entry | Donations welcomePlease come just to listen or get on stage, be vulnerable, and share with us, a diverse group of welcoming and open people who are curious about each others' lives. Stories will last from 7 to 10 minutes. Expect ten stories plus an intermission.
Storytelling Barcelona is a completely free event run by volunteers. We welcome everyone to get on stage! Absolutely no experience is necessary.
We only ask that stories be true and personal and that they are performed as opposed to read—and they should be stories instead of philosophical musings, motivational speeches, or stand-up routines.
The content is completely at the discretion of the storyteller as long as it is related in the monthly theme and respectful to the diversity and experiences of all humans.
Interested in sharing a story? Spots are volunteer-based and given on a first come, first serve basis. Sign up through our form.
For any questions or concerns, reach out to us via DM! find us on Instagram @storytellingbarcelona
Bring some cash for the tip jar! We will always remain free because we want to be an event open to everyone! We do have a donation jar at the event that helps sustain the project, so bring some extra change and toss it in.
No RSVP needed to be part of the audience — just walk in, grab a seat, and join us for an evening of community, courage, and connection.
We also have a podcast if you want to enjoy stories from home called What Lingers. You can find it on all podcast platforms!
