A storytelling slam is an invitation to share a slice of real life in a room full of people who appreciate a well-told tale. This show features 4 storytellers, each sharing a true story but only one tells the unvarnished truth. The other 3 are also narratives of personal experiences but with anything from little white lies to whopping inconsistencies woven into it. After all the stories are told, the audience gets into the action, asking questions of the tellers, then voting for who is the telling the whole truth. Winners get a prize.

Peterson, one of the storytellers that evening who was quoted for the article.
