The Moth

 


Everyone has a favorite ghost story, break-up story, or hard-luck story. These are the tales we trot out at cocktail parties or whisper into our lovers' ears in the dark. We blab them on the phone, sob them onto a friend's shoulder, tell them to our shrinks. But the one thing we never do is keep them to ourselves, because stories are, by their very nature, communal.

The New York-based organization The Moth has produced storytelling shows for enthusiastic audiences since 1997 and has sold out every event for the past nine years. The Moth presents stories by celebrated writers and actors alongside other unique storytellers.  Past storytellers have included Margaret Cho, Janeane Garofalo, Moby, Frank McCourt, and an astronaut, a voodoo priestess, a pickpocket, a cop and hundreds of others. A few times each year, The Moth travels to venues outside of New York City such as the US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen… and now, their ten-city tour hits San Francisco at GAMH!

NEW YORK TIMES:
"The name invokes those Georgia nights of storytelling, the teller serving as a sort of porch light, drawing the listeners."


THE TIMES OF LONDON:
"One of the hottest events in town...the performances are enthralling, funny and moving."
 
THE VILLAGE VOICE:
"Best Regularly-Held Literary Event...the most memorable and hilarious narratives...an exuberant moveable feast."

WALL STREET JOURNAL:

"New York’s hottest and hippest literary ticket."


SALON.COM
"A breath of life in the ordinarily hyper-polite New York literary landscape . . .the Moth still seems to be living up to its glowing press coverage."
