Vancouver Story Slam Invitational

A special invitational edition of the monthly Vancouver Story Slam storytelling show just for Verses Festival of Words!

Ten storytellers share original short stories in a competition for cash and prizes. 50 audience members will receive voting ballots to select the night's winning storytellers.

Hosted by Susan Cormier and Bryant Ross.
Vancouver Story Slam is Canada's longest-running live monthly storytelling competition. New participants are always welcome; profits from the monthly show go to the VSS annual writing scholarship.

The list of invited storytellers is a mix of Story Slam tellers from the past year, as well as storytellers who are new to the Story Slam stage.
