Three stories & a mini-story told at the Black Box on November 20 when the theme was Accident: Paul Whittington is a medical marvel; Karen Hetherington is all washed up; Niamh Kavanagh waits for a premature demise; plus the tale of Pádraig’s Holy Finger. Paul is your host.

Tenx9 is a monthly storytelling event where nine people have up to ten minutes to tell a true story from their own life on a particular theme. It began in Belfast in 2011, started by Pádraig Ó Tuama & Paul Doran, and as well as filling the main venue in the Black Box, it has spread to Scotland, England, USA, Canada, Netherlands & Australia.

While it draws on the tradition of oral storytelling, we also encourage the shy, the nervous & the reticent - some people are confident speakers other use notes or the full text.
