(Fri 31 May: 7:30pm) Some stories can make you weep, provoke fits of pique or leave you pondering the mysteries of the universe... But these are not those! Join Franziska Droll for jests, jokes and japes - lighthearted tales to make you sing, clap and laugh out loud. You're guaranteed to leave with a skip in your step. Edinburgh’s monthly storytelling club held upstairs in the Waverley Bar, with the usual open-floor section for anyone to share a story, song or poem around the theme or otherwise. Hosted by Joanne Marr. Franziska Droll was born and bred in the Black Forest, Germany, and moved to Scotland after falling in love with the country and the people. She loves to tell traditional Scottish stories as well as tales from her homeland and myths and legends from all around the world. Her style is interactive and entertaining, and a story is often accompanied by a song and sometimes together with the sound of her ukulele or moon drum. No story is like the other, but they will all leave you with a smile.
