The Mee Club is a new venture from the same team who brought Tell Me On A Sunday to Birmingham. Tell Me On A Sunday was a true life storytelling club for adults, curated and hosted by one of Europe's leading storytellers, Cat Weatherill. It ran for three hugely successful seasons at the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham, in collaboration with Writing West Midlands. Storytellers came from all professions and ranged in age from 21 to 60+ Some had performed before in other art forms eg acting or comedy. For some, it was their very first time on stage. They came back again and again, hooked on the idea of true life stories. True life stories are totally addictive. They are real and unpredictable, delivered straight from the heart. They celebrate life in all its complexity: the ups and downs, the regrets and the rewards. They make us feel human. They are wonderful to tell - and great to listen to! For Tell Me On A Sunday, the stories had to be pitched in advance. The Mee Club is different. There will be
OPEN MIC SLOTS for tellers. This means that you can turn up on the day and tell a story. If we find there are more people than places, we will simply put the names into a hat and pull them out. Please note that The Mee Club is storytelling for ADULTS, not children.
