True Story London Storyteller Application Form
We're thrilled you're interested in participating in True Story London and we want to share more about our purpose so you can decide if we are a good fit for you. True Story London is a curated event of 6-minute personal stories told live at 21Soho in Soho Square. Each show includes a mix of people, some who perform on stage regularly and many who don't.
Our reason for being is to create community through stories. We will support you in this process and in return our expectation is that you'll craft your story and rehearse it with us, and attend the entire show and listen to others' stories. If you are primarily looking for stage time (which we understand is important if you're building a performing career), this probably isn't the event for you. If you want to invest in developing a personal story or stories as part of a friendly, creative, and generous community, come on in.
One more note for comedians: we welcome story-based comedy when it follows the story form (roughly beginning/middle/end that takes us on a journey vs jokes and one liners). Don't get us wrong -- we are huge fans of comedy and welcome lighter, funny true stories so long as they are personal and authentic. Also, we love it when our storytellers come back as alumni (most do!) and participate in growing the True Story community. If this doesn't sound appealing or feasible, it's probably not quite the right fit for you.
Please complete the form below and we'll be in touch if we have a suitable spot for you at a future event. Thanks!
