Seanchoíche is a storytelling platform founded in Dublin, hosting live storytelling nights all over the world — including Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Melbourne and Sydney. ✨
For Pride Month, we’re excited to host Seanchoíche at Kinselas for the very first time.
If you haven’t experienced Seanchoíche before, the concept is simple: ordinary people get up and share stories in front of a crowd. Stories can be funny, emotional, heartfelt, chaotic, fictional or deeply personal — from spoken word and prose to personal anecdotes and everything in between.
The theme of the night is CONNECTION, with all stories told revolving around this idea and the many ways we experience connection in our lives, communities and relationships.
Whether you’d like to share a story yourself or simply come along to listen, Seanchoíche is known for creating a warm, welcoming and deeply human atmosphere.
