Milk and Cookie Stories presents

Milk and Cookie Stories VII

featuring a theme – Disaster Stories, and the Milk & Cookies BAKE-OFF!
Doors 6.30pm, Tuesday May 11th, Exchange Dublin

RUN! Milk & Cookie Stories are terrified to announce our latest event, in association with Exchange Words, is hurtling through space towards us and is due for impact this Tuesday May 11th in Exchange Dublin. Doors open at 6.30pm (and not before), the show starts at 7pm, and with any luck we’ll have survived the whole ordeal, learned to put aside our petty differences and be ready to head home around 10pm. This lifeboat fills up fast, and we don’t take reservations; so make sure you’re at the front of the panicked swarm of extras.

Milk and Cookie Stories is for anyone who has a story to tell, or wants to hear a tale told well, in a relaxed, friendly environment ~ a place with tea, cushions, cookies and friends. The event consists of open mic storytelling, with one or two featured storytellers. Our event is free and everyone is welcome.

Our theme this month is Disaster Stories! Hopefully if you’re looking for something to tell, this might offer a eruption of inspiration. You don’t have to stick to the theme (and the interpretation is wide!), but if you do have a good one, let us know when you’re signing up and we’ll do what we can. Last month we had a lot of amazing first-time storytellers, and Milk & Cookie Stories is made by the stories great and small that everyone carries around with them, so please don’t be afraid to sign up! We encourage stories of all kinds; traditional, animation, musical, anything as long as it’s a story – for more information check out the House Rules.

The BAKE-OFF! is also returning, bruised and doughy, to strike terror and inspiration into the hearts of the baking community – one cookie will rise above the rest, and the winner shall be carried through the streets, and given prizes. More details (and recipies!) are available here.

Milk & Cookie Stories owes everything to you all for coming down every month, grabbing a duvet and settling in for the night. Whether you’re there for the stories and the tea, or you’re drowning some nerves in cookies before telling a story to everyone, it just doesn’t happen without you. If you’ve been around for a couple by now, you’ll know that it all just seems to get better with every passing month, and if you’ve just heard of us, come on down and see for yourself! Because we promise, even if we’ve never seen you before;

Milk & Cookies ♥’s you!
