What we’re about
We are a group of dedicated professional writers who, since 2019 have been growing Vienna’s community of English language story tellers, of all sorts. If you write short stories, or are a poet, a singer-song writer, a personal essayist, a novelist, a stand-up comedian, or create stories in forms we haven’t heard of yet, then you are a story teller and you should come and join us. Also, if you like to hear great stories - our events are for you.
Our two monthly evenings of live storytelling always involve established, professional writers from the worlds of book publishing, radio, TV, film, comedy, poetry or song writing, as well as, at the Open Mic, aspiring writers in any of these categories. The mix is different every month. All stories are in English.
We have 2 events each month.
- The 3rd Thursday of each month is our ever-popular OPEN MIC STORYTELLING at Cafe Korb, Brandstätte 7 (in Vienna’s 1st district) at 7pm which has been running for over 4 years. It is open to anyone to tell a story, or a poem or a song they have written themselves. If you ever want to tell a story please get in touch in advance. You can also arrive by 6.45pm to see if we can get your name on the list. We usually fit everyone in. There is a theme each month. But it is also just as much fun to come and watch/listen, and enjoy our wide array of storytellers, poets and singer-songwriters who perform each month. The Open Mic is free and we ask for donations on the night. No need to RSVP to attend - just turn up. There is a 5 Euro donation requested to help with running costs. (Details below for potential storytellers).
- The other monthly event is called TRUE STORY NIGHTS. This is not an Open Mic, but an evening of professional storytellers, where 4 storytellers tell 2 amazingly true stories each, one in each half of the show. It takes place in the stylish Rote Bar cabaret theatre at the very grand Volkstheater. This event is a ticketed event. You can see details in our Events section. Tickets are just 15 Euros (9 Euros concessions) and go on sale at Volkstheater and online weeks in advance. We sell out every show so book early.
