Ask Me Stories Summer Slam

Cammi and I are super excited about our first Ask Me Stories Slam. Last month's show was our 2 year anniversary and it was amazing. We had amazing performers, a ridiculous raffle, and surprise cake shaped like a giant number 2, and a sold-out house.

This month we're letting you take the stage as we invite audience members to put their name in the hat, bag or bowl (vessel as-of-yet undetermined) and possibly be selected to tell a story. The time limit is 6 minutes. At 7 minutes I will come out and sweep you offstage a la Showtime at the Apollo. That will be weird and make everyone uncomfortable, so time your tale! 

We will be presenting a featured performer, the incredible, Moth GrandSlam-winning Erin Barker of Story Collider. So come check out the slam Thursday August 30th at 7pm at Le Poisson Rouge. 

There is NO THEME and the show is FREE!!!

I'm Hosting The Moth at Bell House August 6!

This just in from the truly-amazing-news department- I've been asked to host the legendary Moth StorySlam Wednesday, August 6th at The Bell House in Brooklyn. I cannot express how honored, thrilled, and truly freaking terrified I am to do this. And, as if it isn't enough pressure to be taking the mic at the mother of all storytelling slams, I'm filling in for resident badass Peter Aguero. And those are some big shoes to fill. Literally! The guy's like 9 feet tall or something. So expect to look downright Lilliputian on the massive Bell House stage.

The theme is "Sunny." And if you've seen, heard, or read my tales of high school drug parties and X-rated Goth escapades, you know this theme is an AMAZING fit for my sensibilities.

Seriously.

Tickets go fast at the door for 8 bucks a pop. In order to ensure entry, soon you'll be able to buy advance tickets HERE for 16 dollars.

I hope you can make it out. This is some high-falutin' hostery right here. I think I'm going to keep a Cuss jar onstage just to keep myself in line. At one dollar per profanity, this gig is gonna put me in the poor house.

Hope to see you there!
