Featuring stories from Orla Coffey, Donal O'Leary and Louise Pollard recorded live onstage at The Sugar Club.

  • Outsiders

    Have you ever felt like you didn't belong? Like you weren't part of a group or a community and stuck out like a sore thumb. In this episode of The Dublin Story Slam we're sharing three stories inspired by that feeling of being an outsider. From joing a dance studio with zero experience to joining a football club with no interest in football to joining a collective when you felt like nobody liked you. These are stories that celebrate courage, community and going from being an outsider to feeling like you belong. Thanks to Alex Biarozkin, Céire Sadlier & Anna Murphy.
