Tales at the Lighthouse: January

Come along to the first 2026 installment of Edinburgh's premier storytelling open mic night!

It's primarily a night of amazing open mic storytelling, but other art-forms such as poetry, comedy, music are also welcome! All we ask is your work has a narrative focus. We are here for stories: new stories, old stories, folk stories, myths, legends, made-up stories and stories true to life - bring them, bring them, bring them! It’s a safe space to tell new work, or try storytelling for the first time; it’s also for everyone but as a bpoc queer-run night know, our sweet bpoc and queers humans, you are so welcome.

Sign ups happen in advance, so please email Niall.moorjani@gmail.com if you would like a slot.

The event is split in 2 halves, so there is a wee comfort break in the middle :)

Please, please, please spread the word and come on down! We promise it’s literally the best thing you can do with your Sunday afternoon, and it’s free to attend!.
