**Some nights you still talk about the next day. This is one of them.** RAW is London's original storytelling and live music night, where real people share true stories from their own lives. Every storyteller, performer and artist is hand-picked. It's not an open mic, and no two RAWs are ever the same. You'll discover new artists before anyone else: we've spent years championing the grassroots and everyday people whose stories deserve to be heard. **THIS MONTH'S THEME: CULTURE** *"In a room full of strangers, I felt I could talk to anyone, and I did!" – RAW attendee* **ON THE NIGHT** - **Uncensored true stories** - **Live music** - **DJ set** - **Interactive activations and pop-ups 🤫** **THE STORY SO FAR** RAW started decades ago as an IYKYK thing: stories shared at lock-ins, kitchen tables and street benches, born from founder Christine's obsession with real stories. Five years ago it went public. It's grown purely by word of mouth, made storytelling a night out in London, and inspired events across the city. Still independent, still run by three women. **GOOD TO KNOW** - **This is not an open mic so you don't have to tell a story. Just come and listen.** - **Coming alone?
