Dive into the Depths of Storytelling

Get ready for an electrifying evening like no other at BABS’LAB! Join us for an epic gathering as the champions of our monthly story slams come together to explore the theme: "Flood of Breath” on Friday, April 5, 2024. Feel the pulse of excitement as a vibrant array of storytellers takes the stage, each ready to ignite your imagination with their tales.

We listen with care, creating a sacred space where every story finds its voice and every listener finds connection. But hey, it's not just about the stories – it's about having a blast!

But wait, there's more! To add to the mix and elevate the experience, we've invited the multi-talented musician and storyteller, Grant Nielsen.

We promise a fun-filled evening where laughter, cheers, and fab conversation are all part of the experience. So, mark your calendars, grab your friends, and get ready for a night to remember!
