Everybody has a story.

Tenx9 was started by Paul Doran and Pádraig Ó Tuama in the Autumn of 2011. Initially starting in the front room at the Black Box in Belfast, Tenx9 gathered a monthly group of 40 people for true stories.

Now Tenx9 has expanded to 15 cities, has a workplace, charitable, broadcasting and festival outreach. We love stories and love how stories bring people together.

Tenx9 is a not-for-profit subsidiary of FanFán Ltd, a company limited by guarantee, registered in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
