Anyone can tell a story!
We produce two different types of shows: The Monti and The Monti StorySLAM.
“I love both The Monti and The Monti StorySLAM.  When I want a guarantee of finely crafted narratives, I go to The Monti; when I want great stories that are raw and unexpected, I go to the SLAMs.  They’re perfect complements!”

Storytellers

An event eight months in the making, The Monti GrandSLAM pits our regular season StorySLAM champions against each other with brand-new stories on an entirely new theme. Do not miss the championship event that everyone will be talking about.


We’ve all been there—the moment where your heart races, your mind goes blank, and you’re faced with a choice that could change everything. You know that in the next few seconds, you have to choose: face the challenge head-on, or turn and run. In a world that constantly tests our limits, some choices define us in ways we never saw coming. On April 24th, our eight StorySLAM winners are diving into the raw, adrenaline-pumping moments of Fight or Flight—those pivotal decisions where your instincts take over and every option feels life-altering. From moments of fierce courage to split-second escapes, we’ll be hearing stories of bravery, fear, and the wild rush of making a choice that could shift your entire world.


Eight storytellers. Five minutes per story. One GrandSLAM champion! There will be blood; oh yes, there will be blood.
