  • What is all this about anyway?

    The ethos of Hong Kong Stories

    We are pretty awesome. It is true. But the thing is - you could be awesome too.

    We have two ways you can be involved:

    The first is to be a storyteller.

    We promise you won't have to sign up to any strange doctrines, or pay membership fees.

    Just show up to our workshops, swap stories with strangers, and help each other shape the stories. It will instantly feel connected to fellow storytellers at the workshop - beacuse that's the power of sharing stories from our lives!

    The second is to be an audience member.

    Come listen to stories that make you laugh, sigh, and sometimes even cry a little. It's better than comedy, it's better than drama, it's real life! You can find details on upcoming shows above or on social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn)

    Hong Kong Stories is a volunteer-led and community-focused organization run by people who like getting involved and telling great stories. We hold free workshops and regular live shows to bring fresh, original storytelling to Hong Kong. We mostly tell stories in English, though we don't require our storytellers to be perfect. Over the years we have built a really fantastic community of people with diverse backgrounds.

    We love stories and we would love to hear yours!
