On September 26th, 2016 Story Story had a special fundraiser featuring a favorite slammer from each of the shows during the 15/16 season. Over an extended break with some jailhouse rock, the story slammers became real jailbirds—in lockup as the crowd posted bail on their favorite confessions. The top 3 were set loose to come clean on the theme FREEDOM. Congratulations to our finalists Sheli Gartman, Kevin Mullin, and Sara Jo John. The winner goes down in infamy—labeled the “Best Slammer of the Year 2016.” Take no prisoners style.

During the slam, we randomly draw names from a random vessel, and the chosen few have 5 minutes to stand up on stage—and cut to the quick.
