**TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FROM VOLKSTHEATER FOR THE DECEMBER 19TH SHOW. LINE UP TO BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY.** The hugely popular TRUE STORY NIGHTS from Vienna Storytelling Collective have a pre-Christmas show December 19th 2025 to continue its 4th year of monthly sold out shows at the grand Volkstheater Rote Bar. These exciting storytelling evenings sell out early at Volkstheater, so we are posting it now (before the line up is finalised) so Vienna Storytelling Collective members don't miss out.
We have been bringing you a different line up of performers each month, with surprising, moving, hilarious and sometimes shockingly true stories. Your host as ever is Turan Ali, producer of BBC drama/comedy, who welcomes you to a rollercoaster evening of gripping, high quality true stories – some from Vienna. Our ever-changing quartet of storytellers for each show includes novelists, comedians, radio, TV and film professionals, screenplay writers, performance poets, singer-songwriters and theatre-makers. It feels like being the priest at a confessional, hearing such personal revelations …. but you don’t need to keep all these a secret!
WHAT THE AUDIENCES HAVE SAID: “Exhilarating”, “A brilliant evening every time”, “Funny and very moving”, “Incredible stories!”
True stories guaranteed to astonish, amuse or amaze you with their honesty.
The line-up for our December 19th 2025 TRUE STORY NIGHTS joining regular host Turan Ali will be announced shortly.
**Turan Ali** has been producing, directing and writing BBC Radio dramas, comedies and documentaries for 25+ years. He’s the creator, host and producer of *True Story Nights*. He has Austrian/Turkish parents, has been an on-stage storyteller since 2012 and a stand-up since 2021. His current tour includes Vienna, Scotland, Cyprus, Czech Republic and Istanbul.
