What is it?

If you like stories, why not head to the grand opening of Storytellers’ Club at The Pleasance, Islington?  The long-running storytelling evening joins forces with The Pleasance Islington, to bring you a night of magical tales beside a faux-log-fireplace.

Comedy and music folk gather to tell stories to make your heart soar.  There are prizes to be won in the short-short-short story competition and even cupcakes on arrival.  Arrive from 6pm, for card games, cupcakes & crafts in the bar.  This month’s show features tales from Jim Bob, Doc Brown, James Dowdeswell and Michael Legge.
