🍿 About the show
-------------
We receive guests with a unique experience or perspective on life to tell a story, unfiltered, vulnerable and without judgment. Following the story, a conversation lead by curiosity, honesty and vulnerability.
The Telling Room is inspired from Mezrab and the Tommy Tiernan Show.
Mezrab is an incredible storytelling theater in Amsterdam where ordinary people gather on Wednesday and Friday to tell stories. It’s a unique place of expression where you can hear raw and touching stories.
The Tommy Tiernan Show is a television program where the host engages in spontaneous and candid interviews, often without prior knowledge of who will be the guest, leading to a dynamic and unscripted conversation.
The last part we’re adding is depth and vulnerability. During the conversation, we try to allow unfiltered curiosity, because we believe that’s when we genuinely get to know someone: when they allow themselves to be vulnerable and raw.
