The Moth is old-fashioned storytelling on thoroughly modern themes by wildly divergent raconteurs. No notes and no cheat sheets are allowed on The Moth stage, where real life stories have been told to live audiences since 1997. Called "New York's hottest and hippest literary ticket," by The Wall Street Journal, The Moth has featured celebrated artists including Malcolm Gladwell, Ethan Hawke, Gay Talese, Lili Taylor, Moby and Darryl “DMC” McDaniels alongside an astronaut, a voodoo priestess, a pickpocket, a cop and hundreds of others.
