Let Me Tell You a Story, Jack! – Mayhem and Madness

Date: Tuesday, Mar 12 2019
Time: 6:30pm
Venue: Leftbank
Price: Free

The popular Bristol spoken word open mic night returns with a storytelling evening on the theme of Mayhem and Madness.

“Have you ever had a situation rapidly spiral out of control, or ended up in quite the pickle of your own making? Maybe you momentarily lost your mind in the throes of young love, or found it hard to keep your temper during a confrontation.

“Share your tales of chaos and insanity in whatever form you like – short story, poem, song, interpretive dance, haiku, or crudely-drawn doodle. As long as it’s a story and within the five minute limit, you’re in, or just come to listen!”

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.
