Looking to buy 1-2 tickets for The Moth Bay Area GrandSLAM—huge storytelling fan here, and I'd be over the moon to experience this live magic!
I am looking for two tickets to the SF GrandSLAM on the 22nd of November in San Francisco. If you can't make it, We'd love to go. Please DM me.

I have an extra ticket for tonight’s show if anyone is interested. :)
If anyone has tickets for tomorrow’s live show in Brooklyn, NY and is unable to make it I would love to buy them from you!!! I have a friend who was accepted to participate but the event was sold out before I could buy tickets. I would love to see her read if anyone has tickets they’d like to get off their hands.
The storyteller was a young girl and she was in an accident that killed her best friend?
It ends with the quote from 'The Bridge of San Luis Rey', talking about death and love?
I’m trying to recall an episode which revolves around the story teller working for a crisis hotline.
Each day, a caller phones in and assumes the identify of a women, with a dog.
They call in another time as a different identity.
The story teller eventually makes it his mission to find the mystery caller.
I believe it’s ones of the first episodes or perhaps from one of the original founders?
This was back in 2016/2017 - anyone know how I can get a copy of the recording?
I remember a story told by an old, weathered, but cheerful sounding man. He talked about his father's hands, how they were beautiful and knarled. I think he might have been a fisherman?
I've googled with no luck. Anyone remember this?
Thanks!
Thinking of getting a Space Moth T-shirt. Does anyone have a women's L or XL in this could could measure it? Shoulders, chest, and waist area? They have no size guidelines. I'm usually an L, but occasionally need an XL (and rarely an M!). Thanks in advance!

Love the Moth.
I've never attended a Moth event and there will be a MainStage in my city in December.
My question is, what do you see at the stage, exactly? Is it just a person standing? I was wondering about this because there are tickets farther away from the stage. they are cheaper but I am not sure how much the distance impacts the experience. Thank you!
Hello!
Long-time Moth listener, hopeful first-time storyteller in a few weeks! I was wondering if people in the Reddit community ever read through stories to provide feedback? If you're interested, shoot me a message or reply here!
A friend cancelled last minute, hmu if you can make it.
Trying to put one together for intermediate students.
I won a StorySlam over a year ago and they told me that they would reach back out for next steps and I would get invited to a Main Stage event to tell another story. Has this every happened to anyone and did you ever hear from them?
Does anyone have a video that explains what a Moth event is, perhaps a news story? I'm trying to get an event off the ground and would like to have a video to share with potential community partners.
By the time I discovered the show, it was sold out. Is it worth trying to get some of the small amount of in person walk in tickets? Does anyone have experience getting walk in tickets? How early should we be trying to get there? Doors open in 2 and a half hours.
Hi, looking for two tickets to Boston story slam on 8/13. Please let me know if you have or know of any way to get them, thanks!
Unfortunately no longer able to use. Message me if interested!
I'm looking for a story told by a guy that went to Africa and had an experience with magic. His guide gave him a magic belt that he claimed made him indestructible, and the storyteller wore it into a hut where a magic guy banged a machete against his body and he didn't get injured. I believe he went to Africa with his aunt. Also I remember the story starts with this guy telling a kid magic isn't real at a barbecue.
If someone knows which episode this is from, I will be hugely thankful!!!
I submitted a story via the website Pitchline on June 22. It's my first time. I know they say they don't respond to every submission and that they can't provide feedback. I'm just wondering if at this point they passed on it and they're not interested or if they have yet to review it. Any additional information about the process would be appreciated.
I think it was a moth from many years ago. He was a garbage man who catcalled her on the street. Later they met at a party and he was obnoxious and negged her Uggs. The reveal is that they have been married for XX years.
Thanks
I can't remember all the details but her story was so beautifully told and sad. I think she described how she dug a hole in the ground for her horse then lay in it and looked at the stars.
So I was recommended this podcast by a friend and went to give it a listen. I use Pocket Casts and it shows episodes dating back to 2011, however when I try and play the old ones it fails because they have been moved/deleted. The oldest one I can listen to is from March of 2017. Does anyone know a feed where I can find all the old eps?
I have attended story slams before, but have never attempted to share a story. I have one that I’m very excited to share, but I’d like to know how probable it is that I get selected so I have that expectation before hand. I would be going in Brooklyn specifically. Does anybody know how many people on average put their names in? Just a guess or estimate.
I ask because I went to a pretty crowded one in DC last year, and they didn’t even fill up all 10 spots, despite the crowd being pretty large.
I've got two tickets for Detroit tomorrow, can't use them. I've got them listed on Stubhub as well, but can knock of the fees here. Section 4 Row P (floor level)
Has anyone been to The Moth at Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn? I have tickets for tomorrow’s show and am curious how seating works. Are there chairs set up or is this a show we should bring a blanket to sit on the grass?
Why did we hear the people that found the people with the stories? Just felt weird.
Hey Moth-lovers! I was hoping to go to the show at Lincoln Hall on Monday, and my friend bought the very last ticket before the rest of us could get ours and she doesn’t want to go alone. If anyone is interested in buying it off her let me know! Thanks!
