Orlando Story Club is a live storytelling competition that takes place at CityArts Orlando (39 S Magnolia Ave). All regular shows begin at 7:00 p.m. $5 donation to CityArts to attend.

Anyone can enter the storytelling competition by dropping their name in the hat. 10 names are drawn at random and given 5 mins to share their story. 3 audience judges determine the top 3 tellers who win prizes to a local establishment.
Anti-Heroes show up in many of our favorite stories, from comic books to video games, blockbuster movies, and anime. Well known anti-heroes from media: Wolverine, Hulk, Rick Sanchez (Rick and Morty), Wario (Nintendo), V (V for Vendetta), Arya Stark (Game of Thrones), Jack Sparrow (The Pirates of the Caribbean), Light Yagami (a.k.a. Kira from Death Note), and even Shrek!
Here are some anti-hero thoughts to spark story ideas for the 2/7 show.
  • Have you been the unlikely hero? Or maybe you were called a hero when you didn’t feel like one…
  • Are you dealing with a chaotic trait you thought you should hide only to realize that’s what makes you the beautiful person you are?
  • Are you working through self-doubt or imposter syndrome?
  • Maybe you’ve got a story involving Kafka’s Metamorphosis or any of Kerouac’s work?
  • Or maybe you’re a Swiftie with a tale you can’t resist.
  • Ever dated a psychopath or narcissist who was well liked or successful?
  • Got a story about a time you rooted for the bad guy?
  • Even parents play the “bad guy” when we’re young to save us from ourselves
There are so many options for stories about an anti-hero!
