StorySlam Oakland presents: "Advice"

StorySlam Oakland is Oakland's longest-running true storytelling show. Where ordinary people get up on stage and tell true stories from their life on a theme. February's theme is "Advice." What have you been telling people? What have they been telling you?

Come tell us a 5-minute true story about some memorable advice you received or gave. Life lessons relationships marriage and parenting work or retirement anything goes as long as you tell us the story behind it and what happened.

(But please save your medical stories for another audience!)

Unasked for advice a suggestion you were compelled to make an online review that swayed you. We could all use some funny advice stories! Or just listen and laugh. Note: not all stories may be funny. Sometimes advice turns out to be tragic.

Stories submitted for open-mic telling must be true about the personal experience of the storyteller and 5 to 6 minutes or less. For complete guidelines visit https://storyslamoakland.com.
