Week 3 :: You ARE What You LISTEN To

The Moth
Though occasionally touching, more often than not, “The Moth” has me laughing aloud. Stories are told by a cross section of society, and the deliveries are always fantastic. A frequent performer on Comedy Central, Mike Birbiglia tells of his worst stand-up performance...ever. On the other end of the spectrum, a retired New York City firefighter reflects on the memories [of work] that haunt him and strain his family life. In a recent episode, an apartment tenant tells of a "crazy" super who turns out to not be so crazy. If you aren't laughing, then your jaw will be on the floor. Visit the The Moth and it will turn into one of the brightest 15 minutes of your week.

The Moth features people telling true, engaging, funny, touching and eye-opening stories from their lives. Hailed as “New York’s hottest and hippest literary ticket” by the Wall Street Journal, The Moth has been producing sold-out storytelling shows for over ten years. Stories are told without notes to a live audience by a wide range of people. The best have been captured here. iTunes
