149 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The Moth StorySLAM is an open-mic storytelling competition where anyone can take the stage and share a 5-minute personal story on the night's theme, which is 'Love Hurts.' Prepare a tale about a love that made you go 'ouch' - the agony of deferred love, the misery of good love gone bad, or the anguish of unrequited love. Situationships, friend break-ups, bad romances - the good, the bad, and the ugly that you survived or inflicted.
