Stories of djinns, witches and wily women. Strange lands and seas. Guns lost, found and fired. Drugs you never heard of, used and abused. The woman who got rubbed out. And more. This is storytelling, but not as we know it. This is eye-contact theatre for the noughties.

Following a series of successful evenings of innovative storytelling over the last year and more, the club's first event of 2008 will take a new format: storytelling à la carte. Here, listeners will be invited to select the stories you want to hear from a menu of intriguing starters, meaty main courses and juicy desserts, from the repertoire of the club's MC, the incorrigible Oh-Aissieux. As before, guests will be encouraged to mingle in the interval and to share stories with each other on an informal basis.

As the club's events are often sold out, patrons are advised to book in advance, and to turn up in good time to get a good seat, order drinks from the bar and read the menu at your leisure.
