Is storytelling making a return?
It is - wonderfully so!
People are being given the chance to tell true, first-person stories in front of audiences at an event called The Moth.
Founded in the late 1990s, participants can talk for up to five minutes, without notes, and are given a score by a panel of judges.
Events are now held in 26 cities around the world including London, Sydney and Dublin.
