Milk and Cookie Stories is a non-profit storytelling group based in Dublin, Ireland. We're looking to find out what stories our city has to tell. Storytelling, though very much a thriving art form, is rarely the focus of any event or performance. We believe that storytelling deserves to be placed in the spotlight. Dublin needs a place for people to come to hear a good story, and maybe tell one - we aim to provide that place. Milk and Cookies isn’t just for writers and performers – we would like anyone who has a tale to tell, or wants to hear a story told well, to have a warm, relaxed environment to do just that. A place with tea, cushions, cookies and friends.

Flyer for our 'After Dark' Event
After 9 unbroken months of stories, milk & cookies – we felt everyone could do with letting their hair down a little. I mean, everyone’s so nice. So we decided to put together something a little different. Milk & Cookies – After Dark is a basement party, set over two stages with bands (soulful, funky, jazzy bands), comedians (good ones), poets, dancers, DJ’s and of course, lots of good old fashioned storytellers (because that’s just what we do). And weirder things too, but we’re a little loathe to spoil them at this point. Just trust us – you haven’t seen much like this before. So – write it down, get yourself dressed impressive and come get a little rowdy with everyone.
We’ll still have some slots for open mic storytelling available, so if you have a story, especially one that you maybe shouldn’t tell in polite company, we want to hear from you. Similarly though, if you have a strange little talent or performance piece you’re just dying to share with the world (think the wonderful Liana tearing a phonebook in half at M&C IX), be it contortionism, brainwashing, anything suitably impressive and more than a little unusual – we are absolutely dying to make friends and give you an audience to embarrass yourself in front of. If this sounds like your calling please drop us a line – leave us a comment below, or check out our Facebook page, our email address or Twitter. Hell, smoke signal if you like. We probably won’t be able to read it, but we’re not picky.
To the line-up!

This will evolve and grow as we add more and more to the list – you can also find links to most of these amazing people’s webpages with a few exploratory clicks. Believe us when we say we have standards, and that these standards are high. If you haven’t heard of someone on this bill, it’s because you are about to, soon. Keep checking back for more updates.
And a couple of notes – the event is BYOB, so please be responsible. If beer is your poison, try and make it cans instead of bottles. We are not selling alcohol at this event, and although there is no age limit as such, please be advised that this event is for mature audiences only. Rest assured though, we’re still bringing the cookies.
Could use a party? We know you could.
Because Milk & Cookies ’s ♥’s you!

Hopefully this map will help you find our way to our mysterious new venue.
P.S. Our venue might be a little hard to find for this one. We made a little map to help. Look out for the big blue door next to Clarendon House on Clarendon Street!
