Csz Philadelphia, home of ComedySportz, is excited to enrich their programming with a new Story Slam series, held the second Sunday of each month. Along with ComedySportz every Saturday night (Philly’s longest running live show at 32 years!), Csz Philly produces and presents several improv and comedy shows. Story Slams are a new venture, designed to serve the storytelling community and attract those who love a good story — which is everyone!

The format is Open Mic — storytellers are invited to prepare their story, come early and put their name in a hat; storytellers will be randomly chosen at the start of the evening.

The audience votes using a phone app, and the winner gets Sixty bucks!

Every month is a new theme.

September’s Story Theme: FALLING

In addition to the traditional Story Slam format, Csz has added an improvisational twist: the ‘Lightening Round:’ 

Anyone from the audience can pull a random topic from a hat and must immediately tell a 60 second story about that topic, true or improvised.

The audience votes, and the winner gets Sixteen bucks!

A friendly CSz host creates a fun and comfortable experience for everyone.

The venue is BYOB, and there are snacks and drinks available for purchase.
