The Moth Tickets

great night of stories great host who was funny and kept everyone laughing and pumped up all night long

I have seen a lot of shows at Royce Hall and must say I am surprised they would show something like this. Three of us were so bored at the amateurish performances that afterwards we checked with each other that we had closed our eyes and taken a nap. Needless to say, we left at intermission, as did several of the audience. It was as if they had not bothered to check what they were going to talk about. The first one warbled her way through it with about two funny things to say in ten minutes. The next guy rambled on and only had something interesting and got his point across in the last two minutes. And hoo boy!! the last guy ... I feel for him and his daughter that was killed, but this was not the time or place to air your feelings of forgiveness. Write an article, but don't talk forever in front of an audience who has come to be entertained.

Wonderful event and so nice to see the Moth live instead of just on the radio. The only thing that would've made the event better is if we had seats. Standing for 2 hours isn't great but I would still go back for another event. The stories and storytellers are fantastic!

very original, very good work. recommended to anyone who likes stories.

I love the moth events! They are well run & the MCs they get are very entertaining. However this venue had very limited seating & I didn't enjoy having to stand for 3.5 hours.

You must go see the Moth. You will have a blast. Dan Kennedy, the host is hilariously entertaining and all the story tellers were A+.

Seating is always limited for Moth events so it's good to arrive as early as possible. The Grandslams are great because you know you're going to hear 10 story tellers at their best.

Great host, great performers. All around a fun night.

I have been a listener of The Moth podcast for years, and for me that says a lot about the quality of the show because my commitment to media often wavers. As a long time listener, I found the show to be wonderful in the sense that I was an audience member of a live performance that I had always and only ever heard. The event went quickly and was well organized. The Fitzgerald was also a wonderful theatre to have as the host. It's hard to review The Moth because of the nature of the show. One will never have the same experience going a different night. But I will say this: The storytellers are quality, the stories they share are incredibly personal and powerful, and (while I missed Dan Kennedy introducing everyone) the show was a wonderful experience as a long time listener.

Very good. The stories were very interesting. we've been waiting for the moth to come into town to hear live.

I'm a big fan of The Moth podcast, but this show was really disappointing. I enjoyed the story of only 1 out of 5 story-tellers. The story-tellers seem more like performers than real people telling real stories. The stories as told were so edited that you felt like you were watching a dramatic reenactment of a true story rather than something that happened to the person on stage. Perhaps The Moth's version of the story-telling medium has gotten too mature. Or maybe I'm confusing the story slams with a show like this which was intentionally more orchestrated.

Storytelling is definitely a lost art. There's something primal about gathering together and sharing our stories. It used to be critical to the perpetuation of the tribe. It was how we passed on our history, our culture, our mythology. Now it touches something deep, at least in me. Pain shared is pain lessened. Joy shared is joy heightened. There is nothing more dramatic than real life. The moth delivers with a simple yet powerful presentation.

The Moth provided a great night of entertaining stories, everything I was expection from the story tellers. My only issue was that we were bumped from our front row seats to row 6 seats as were a few others. Don't get me wrong the seats were still good but not what I had selected or paid for and I'm a little upset about it.

I brought my 2 nephews to celebrate our birthdays, at 18 & 16 they were awed, entertained & haven't stop talking about the experience ! I have been hooked on the Moth Radio Hour for years but the live show was special and sharing the power of personal stories was great.

Wow! What a great event. Riveting! It was a great format for storytellers and so supportive of new ones. Can't wait to go again. I

Interesting stories, some funny, others sad. Enjoyable and time went quickly.

5 story tellers. 4 were fantastic as was the emcee who was very funny. The final story by Molly Ringwald the "Featured" performer was so-so. She obviously was not a professional story teller and her story was like her movies, simple and sweet. So the lesson is go see the MOTH when it is in town but pay no attention to who the headliner is, they are there just for show. (It was interesting to see M.R. as an adult, she looked rather odd to me.)

Amazing! Who knew one person talking on stage could be so enthralling?

Five story tellers, a host, and guitar interludes. In a time when electronic transmissions, sound bites, and cute photos pose for communication, it is great to see that we can still value real personal communication. Every story was unique, could only be told that well by the storyteller, told not to be impressive but to leave a mark, to open the mind and the heart. A terrific way to spend the evening.

A lovely venue, Carolina Theatre is the best. Disappointed by Molly R's storytelling. The other storytellers were more engaged, more available to interact with audience, and shared stories that felt more genuine.
