Birth Story Slam

Full Frontal: How the Stork Brought Us Here 
Birth Story Slam to Host Narrative Event 

Birth Story Slam refocuses the reproductive discourse on experience, rather than politics. Each slam features the voices of its community, from homes to hospitals and back. Ten stories will be told in five minutes or less. No judges will be present. 

Listen as the microphone is passed from mothers to children, partners, and siblings, from doulas to nurses, midwives and obstetricians. Winner selected by the audience. 

“I realized I knew nothing about birth.” 
Audience member, Boston Birth Story Slam 2013 

Host is comedian and emcee Robin Maxfield, founder of Boston Comedy Chicks, Boston’s only monthly all-female stand-up comedy show. 

Audience raffle to include prizes from local businesses products and special offers. 

Come see what the stork dropped off
