Story Club is Chicago's premier open mic for stories.   Sign up for our mailing list to receive notifications of upcoming shows.   Like us on Facebook and we'll like you right back. Follow us on Twitter and we'll tell you a thing or two.

We give you a mic and 5-8 minutes.  You tell us a story.  

The goal of Story Club is to mix the spontaneity of an open mic with the experience of live theater.  We have created a forum for writers/performers to display their 1st person storytelling prowess, be it fiction or nonfiction, read from the page or memorized.

Story Club has been featured on Time Out Chicago, Gaper's Block, Metromix, the DePaul Writing Center website, and is recommended by the Chicago Tribune.  Story Club presented a panel on Live Lit in Chicago at AWP 2012.

Story Club is held on the first Thursday of every month at 8pm at Uncommon Ground on Clark & Grace. Dinner reservations guarantee seating and are highly recommended.  Call (773) 929-3680 for reservations.  Parking can be non-existent, but the Addison red line is nearby.
