Ever since their StorySlams began, the First Person Arts Grand Slam has been the biggest win a Philly storyteller could boast. But that was then.

Now, in honor of First Person Arts’ 15th Anniversary, winners of FPA’s season finale Grand Slams return to the spotlight to sling stories on the theme “Personal Best.” Competing against their fellow hall-of-famers, these supreme raconteurs must win over celebrity judges with serious style and skill. The stakes are higher, the cash prize is larger, and the trophy is the exact same size.

Hosted by Chris Lundy. Featuring Ryan T. Barlow, Sean Carney, Steve Clark, Jackie DeBellis, Emma Hitchcock, Amanda Feifer O’Brien, Nimisha Ladva, Diane Ivey, Ky Mettler, Olga Pérez, and Marjorie Winther.
